Remember that LCD specs are like printer specs
only slightly related to the truth. Most of the LCD specs are pretty useless for figuring out how good a monitor is for real world use.

How about this one? Under $200 it is.

I don't like the resolution limit of 900vert on those
In my opinion, Widescreen monitors less than 21 inches are too small.
Course, if you don't agree with that opinion...t'is a nice one at a good price.

Then here... picky:

More money, 1600x1200, 20" about the same physical size as my 19" in my front room, though much less deep.

Tough on older eyes
1600x1200 in 24" works. In 21", that might be hard on older eyes.

21"...
I have everything setup in X, so that the 1280x1024 Firefox, OO.o Writer and so on have the same actual size on the 1600x1200 screen.
Now, if I went to 2048x1536... even for *ME* that is quite a bit smaller than I;d like. 1920x1440 was small as well.
I don't envy anyone needing 1280x1024 @ 21" size. Yikes.

This is why...
...I'm looking forward to the Leopard (OS X 10.5) upgrade - resolution independent interface.
My iMac has 1920x1200 on a 24" screen which is great most of the time, but there are times (early morning/late evening, mostly), when I just want to put it into Blind Man mode with Really Big Words And Pictures.

You can try it now
[link|http://www.interact-sw.co.uk/iangblog/2005/05/20/tigerresolution|Resolution Independence in OS X Tiger] In fact the feature I was most interested to see is one that isn't strictly an official feature of the OS. You have to install the developer tools to get to it, and run the 'Quartz Debugger' utility to switch it on. That feature is resolution independence.

Depends on what you're doing.
Also, you need to be careful that you're comparing apples-to-apples in pixel speed. [link|http://www.dansdata.com/askdan00009.htm|Gray to gray versus black to white to black].
We've got some LCDs at work that have big "2 ms!" stickers on them and they don't look any better than our 17" Samsung [link|http://www.samsung.com/au/products/monitors/tft/710n.asp?page=Specifications|710N] with its 12 ms response time. In fact, I think they look worse.
Cheers,
Scott.
