Hi Hernanhe,

Dell has just come out with a new 24" wide screen monitor, and the 20.1" LCD has come down in price. The 20" is a good size, has a fast  refresh rate, and a .255 mm pixel pitch.  I use a three year old 17" LCD as my main monitor .

Here is a review of 19" monitors at PCWorld http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,119581,00.asp

People are able to get the 2405fpw, the 24inch screen, for some good prices and so far no bad reports like the 2005fpw has had with backlighting. Deals like $860 with free shipping, but tax where applicable.

Check out this thread to find the right person to contact to get the best deal.

By the sounds of that last page, tuesday and wednesdy will be a good $860 or even lower deal.

Oh, and even though the 2405 has a higher resolution than the 2005fpw, the 2405's text will appear a smidge larger, not smaller.

I found this pic in a forum, check it out to see the difference of the 2405 and 2005 next to each other:

Also, if you want to stick with CRT, there's a thread at that same Hardforum.com site on an 21inch IBM Sony Trinitron for $119, and some ebay auctions with a buy it now of it for $150. Many people are posting pics and opinions of the monitors they've recieved and all sounds really good, especially for the price.
