One bit of advice: don't go for a flatpanel unless you know what you are doing. I conseder them a necessary evil on laptops 8). They have only one good resolution, are slow to refresh... and for the money you give on a 17" LCD you can get a top of the line 19" CRT (I've paid $520 for a NEC MultySync FP950 last spring and I'm very happy). That said, I've had nothing but good experiences with NEC and Hitachi CRTs. florin -- "If it's not broken, is because you are not fixing it enough." 41A9 2BDE 8E11 F1C5 87A6 03EE 34B3 E075 3B90 DFE4
