Quick Question On Monitors

(assuming a 16" monitor, that gives a reasonable comparison, say 150% zoom for 20")

I have an old 19" CRT that works well but weighs four tons and takes up a huge amount of space. I loaded up some of the many shots I've taken, and at 200% I see what you mean. At 150% it's not so bad. I just keep remembering (and being envious of) people who've said they play using their huge big-screen TVs.

But I'll keep investigating before I make a decision - especially since I'll likely be watching all TV on it as well.

How much on sale? $300 is pushing my limits.
