Thinking of getting LCD for 2D duties with CRT for 3D games...

What do you all think of this?

I've been using a 14.1" LCD on my work laptop and I've simply fell in love with the brightness, sharpness and flatness that a TFT display offers. I hate looking at blurry CRT monitors now when surfing the web or other windows 2D stuff. I'm sensitive to flicker on CRTs with a light colored background (can tell even at 85Hz) so another plus for LCDs.

I plan to retain my 17" CRT for 3D games and movies where the pixel refresh speed and great contrast of CRTS will be handy.

Here are my critieria for an LCD screen:

  • around 15" size, TFT. Nothing bigger as this will bust my wallet. I feel the smaller viewing area/resolution compared to a CRT is offset by the additional text sharpness and brightness.

    DVI or industry standard digital connector only! The idea of getting RGB input and converting it back to digital seems stupid. Models that do this I've noticed have some fuzziness on the text. I'll have to get a video card that can output DVI, but no big deal.

Looking for a recommendation/review on a model.
