With the refreash rate. the LCD screens arnt as quick as the CRT so if you want to play the latest games stick to a CRT. A few reviews I have read show that the SONY SDM-X73 17-inch LCD is a very good screen. Its a 1280 x 1024 at 75 hertz screen with DVI and 2 x VGA inputs. But the latest Viewsonic 18" LCD is real good too, I have forgotten the product number but I will find it for you.
