| Yeah, mainly CGI. I might be getting a 22" CRT from my school soon, either that or a 19" from my dad's work. |

Isn't that dell monitor the 15" LCD?
Their 15 inch LCDs typically run nativley at 1024 X 768 and you just leave the hz alone becuse it doens't hurt anyones eyes.
Their 17" LCDs typically run at 1280 X 1024
19" Same
20" + 1600 X 1200
I would recomend getting an LCD monitor and not a CRT!
Go with at least 17" I would choose 19" or larger though.
Also, 1280 X 1024 is nice, but not fantastic on a 19" It is great on a 17 though.
I think a 19" should run 1600 X 1200 but the dells typically don't
Their 20" is awsome though. |

I believe it's CRT, but yeah LCD is much better.
My favorite monitor size is 20" @ 1280*1024, anything bigger is just too big for my taste and would turn me to only using it for games/movies. |

LCDs are for rich people! Unfortunately, I'm not rich. 
It's confirmed, my dad's bringing in a 22"er from his job and trading it for this crapper I have now. Should be here today! Hopefully My VDO card will support 1600x1200! |

Not really, and did you just say "VDO" instead of "video" or "GFX"?

Since no one has ever used "VDO" for "video", not really. |

| It doesn't have to be popular... you understood it when I said VDO Card, didn't ya? So why are you even arguing about it?? It can be 6 people that have used it, who cares? I got my point across. |
