Good questions.
My 21" CRT is great and i've definitely got my money's worth out of it. It's an NEC XP21, still works great but it's just SO big on my desk.
I'm looking for a really nice. reasonably priced 19" LCD and i'm finding a lot of good ones to choose from.
500/1 ratio is good. Also 16 ms refresh time is excellent for gamers so you don't get "ghosting".
That's my research so far.
