It's been ... oh ... 6 years since I bought a new monitor. My current one isn't going out just yet, but I'd like to get one that:
1. Has a flat tube.
2. Has a nice refresh rate for gaming.
3. Doesn't weigh as much as a Vespa.
In general (or if you'd like to get specific with model #'s, be my guest), what are your top three recommendations for manufacturers, and what are some to avoid at all costs?
I'd like to go higher than 19" if possible, but would even go for 2 phenominal 17" CRTs if the viewable screen space was such that placing the two monitors side-by-side didn't leave this huge gap of plastic. I'm frankly not a fan of LCD's just yet in terms of color fidelity. I had 2 sony TFT screens sitting side by side at my last job, same make and model between them but they never looked the same, even with exactly similar settings on the hardware. It'd be nice to get something for my home that had the same screen-space look as those two flat-panels, but provided the color depth and clarity of a CRT.
