New LCD Monitor - Advise

Hi, how many times I have thought about purchasing an LCD monitor I don't know!!
I have a 19" flat CRT monitor & quite happy but draws 500watts & since my power bill is around $800 per quarter I'm looking at ways to reduce this, CRT monitors are ony around 45Watts. There are so many it's mind boggling, I would like to stay with a square for games like SH3 for example but times are changing and square ones are getting rare, so I may have to go for a 22" or 24" wide, I am looking in the $300-$350 Au price range. Also what determines the quality? on the CRT it was Hfreq & dot pitch, I think the CRT response time is important, is there any other factors, also what has always scared me is dead pixels, is this still an issue?
Any advice is appreciated.
