Jeez Adam, you've got to see a good 19" crt and video card sometime.  
I'm using a Hitachi SuperScan Elite 721, with a GForce video card.  I 
run at 1600x1200 with nary a flicker.  It blows away any LCD I've ever 
seen for detail and at 1280x1024 is crisper than any LCD to my eyes.  I 
only wish I could duplicate the subtlety's I see on screen in a print.  
I'm going to weep real tears when this baby dies and I have to replace 
it with an LCD.
