Howdy, It's time to make the move to a flat panel monitor. I will be getting one of the new/old MDD SP's soon with the nVidia Ti graphics upgrade. My current monitor is a 17" Sony 200ES CRT. Obviously my knowledge of flat panel technology leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to keep the cost at about 0 or less. So what do I need to know? What's a recommended color resolution, dot pitch, refresh rate, resolution, response time, contrast/brightness etc. Thanks.
