My Dad recently purchased this Samsung monitor (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=24-001-143&depa=1) and it looks fantastic.

Thanks Brian. I have heard of the sites before, but was only using CNet for my research. I will use Fatwallet and Epinions as well now.

Hey Curtis,

While browsing some webpages today I came across this deal (http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=24-021-006&depa=0&refer=Fatwa11e7).

It's a one-day sale from Newegg. I've never heard of the brand but the price is right and the initial reviews (on Newegg) are good. Maybe it's the CBM-170 of monitors.

Good Luck in your search.

I made the mistake of thinking the 17" would be fine my CRT is 17". Oops my CRT was really deep. So, now I have a flat screen sitting 2/3 the way foward on the desk so I can see. [:(]

OK....so an update.

I got a 19" LCD. My local PC shop was having a deal on Realsync LCD's. It had nice specs and looked good in the store, so I decided to give it a try. After a few days, I am very happy with it, and I won't be returning it.

I also built a practically new PC. Asus P4P800-VM motherboard, P4 3.2ghz (1gig cache, 800mhzFSB), 1gb ram, 160gb SATA drive, and a CoolerMaster case. I recycled my DVD-Rom and DVD-burner from my old PC. I am very happy with it. I will last at least a couple of years if not longer.

I through in an old CD-burner into the old system, and turned it into a PC for the kids.

One thing for sure, with the LCD monitor, I have gotten a lot of space back on my desk.
