StockHawk,

One reason I bought an LCD display is because I knew I would be spending longer amounts of time in front of the computer doing some fairly detailed work with music and photography. I instantly noticed that my eyes stopped itching and they no longer feel fatigued even after a really long stint in front of the screen. (Joel will probably tell us that something else caused the itching, but for whatever reason it stopped happening when I bought the LCD display. :)

I'm amazed that you can now buy monitors for the prices you mentioned. In February I bought Samsung's SyncMaster 700TFT for $2500 and it was by far the lowest price I could find at the time.

As for size, my thinking is that the only reason you would benefit hugely from a 19" monitor is if you regularly do the kind of work that makes use of the increased real estate. As an example, you can fit a LOT more music on a 19" monitor which is more basic to the function than a mere luxury.

Hope this helps. I'm really jealous of those prices.
