question Rubbick- are you going to be going to school or moving around anytime soon? gonna go to LAN's or anything? I personally had no choice as a 13" crt didnt even fit my dorm. I have not regretted my decision a bit, plus my lcd can do lots of cool stuff like swivel easily, tilt, go up and down, and i can take it apart and move it in two seconds. like Shoobie said if you get one with decent specs they are very similar to crt's mine has 16ms which is plenty, a very small edge so no wasted space, and is DVI, VGA, and has video in, which is pretty cool cause you just push a button and it switches between modes and ive had a dvd player hooked up to it when i didnt have one in my comp, so i just started somethin goin on my comp then switched. and yes if you have the money, an array would be sweeettt!!! im wantin one soon.
it really depends on your budget and what you will be doing.
