If you go to the computer swap meet on a Sunday you can pic 'em up for between $300 - $500 dependant on make and quality.
The two main things to look for are Pixel response time (<10ms is what your after) and as small a DotPitch as you can get (<.3mm)
I've been looking for a 21" Widescreen LCD but seeing as I've got a 21" CRT I'll wait a bit longer for the prices to come down a bit more.. (Spending cash on engine bits at the moment.  ) |

yeah round 450 beginning for a 19" LCD with a response time of 16ms or less.
For any brands i'd recommend anything from samsung since they manufacture the internal components for the majority of LCD manufacturers. For a 8 or 4ms panel with good specs look to pay round $620-$710
Another good website with "close to computer fair" prices is www.scorptec.com.au |

Dedicated PC Acer 19" widescreen Lcd for $200; but that was a once off.
Can def get good bargains if you have a good look around tho.
$300-$500 will get you a very good screen. |

I'm currently running 2x Sony 21" Trinitrons.. very soon to be replaced by a Dell 24" Widescreen LCD.
Anyway, 19" LCD are going for around $400-450 on eBay, just shop around. Dont expect the image quality or colour reproduction to be as accurate as a CRT, esp not in that price range. |

CRT Will burn too.
On this note; at work our CRT screens are burnt but our LCD screens are not.
Take alot to burn either and if you manage to; you deserve it as its just plain abusing your monitor if you ask me!
Plasma is a different kettle of fishl but who the hell would use one as their PC monitor I ask and WHY?! |

CRTs advantage is the res, I love my CRT (LG F700P), 1600*1200 won't find a 19in LCD that will do that. Anyways I say get the Samsung 930BF ~$600, my brother has the 17in version and it's a great screen, 4ms response good clear picture and looks sexy 
Good Luck

Well i found out i dont have enough to get a 19 inch screen so im getting a Benq 17 inch one for 320 instead of 400.
Seems like a good deal to me. |
