My 2 choices:
Ok, so I've already taken into account Price and Performance. Now the only thing that's holding me back from making a decision is Widescreen vs. Normal aspect ratio.
I run an eVga 6800 Ultra, so Widescreen resolutions shouldn't be an issue.
I currently use a Panasonic Panasync S110 21" CRT and have used it for about 6 years. It's been quite a good monitor (still is) although I think it's starting to get a bit fuzzy in old age and it takes up too much depth on my desk.
I always have run at 1600x1200. Hence my reasoning for not looking into 19" panels.
I mainly use my PC for gaming - Counterstrike: Source & World of Warcraft are the 2 I'm playing at the moment. Other than that, web browsing, email, IM, iTunes...you know, the typical fare.
I don't watch movies on my PC, although with that said, I could if I enjoyed the experience although I would tend to bet I'd still go to the living room and hit the couch and TV regardless of which monitor I choose.
So I'm looking for opinions based on real world experience from users who may have the same habits I do.
Thanks for your opinion.
