Advice needed -- monitor

[Robert Jarvis]

I am considering binning my old CRT monitor and getting an LCD one. Which will take up a hell of a less psace.
What should I look for in the specs and can anyone recommend a monitor.

i'd buy an lcd tv mate as they are cheap as chips, and if it has picture in picture mode then you can browse g.o.t in the corner of your tv screen.

Ive got this, bought it about 1-2 months ago. But I only paid £129, so dunno why its that price now.

Depends what you want it for.

And of course what size and how much you want to pay.

Viewsonic VX2260wm 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor [VX2260WM] 22" LCD 22"

Samsung P2050 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor [LS20LRZKUV/EN] 20" LCD 20"

Dell Ultrasharp 3008WFP 30" Widescreen LCD Monitor [3008WFP] 26" - 30" LCD 30"

Just find a model you like the look off, then google it and you might find it cheaper.

That 1 looks a good price for what it is, but it says they arent in stock, maybe contact them and see when they are getting more, if at all.

Thanks guys but apart from size, I was wondering if or what I should be looking for in terms of resolution and if anyone had ideas.

Reidy made a good point, should I look at an LCD TV but I think their resolution is limited.

As big of a resolution as possible

Typically, with HDTV's out there now, monitors also conform to these resolutions , so ideally you would want to get one that pushes 1920x1080 (that is a 1.78:1 aspect ratio which allows you to watch 2.35:1 ratio shows/movies too).
