Wow AlPha... I gotta hand it to you this time. This is one of those disputed rivals that you could try to solve for hours upon hours and never come up with a conclusion. I know you've been looking at the contrast ratios, which is a good start, but realize there are other aspects to a good LCD. I think, for now, its best to stay with the tried and true CRT. 85hz refresh rates, and a resolution that is potentially over 1280x1024. If you still are dying to get one of those thin cool monitors, check out my good old friend's website, Tom's Hardware. This is the article you should look at... http://www.tomshardware.com/display/...g_saga_updated. Happy shopping!
