I want the 24" one since it is capable of 1080P. I'll wait till they standardize the input and HD.

Between Newegg, Zipzoomfly, and pcconnection, who has the best policy on dead pixels?

I game more than anything else on my computer, mostly FPS games, fast action. I've never owned an LCD monitor. Currently I have a 19" NEC CRT that I got for like $80 a while back, bought it as a backup, and my old Samsung 900NF CRT crapped out on me, thought it was a great monitor while it worked.

My CRT produces a lot of heat I believe, and makes my room hotter, and takes up lots of space on my desktop. So I'm all for the benefits of an LCD, but I'm just unsure if I'll be pleased with that being my only monitor (as I don't plan on having more than 1) to game on, browse websites, watch movies, etc.

I am in the same position as you are man.......I bought a 19" KDS Avitron (Sony Trinitron Tube) CRT used for $60 about a year and a half ago. I have never owned an LCD but I have been researching them for about 6-8 months and this seems to be a very Hot deal. Mine is being shipped and should arrive today sometime. I am looking forward to it very much. I will post back with a review once i get it set up.

EDIT: I just recieved the monitor. Setup was pretty easy and quick. Looks and feels of good quailty. Viewing angles are somewhat poor, but only if you are very picky will you have a problem. Screen size is a nice improvement over my 19" CRT and its ALOT lighter, but still has a decent heftiness to it. Ergonomics are wonderful. No dead pixels that I can see and only very slight backlight bleeding on black backrounds. I have yet to try it with games, but plan to load up some Oblivion shortly. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
