OT: What to know before buying an LCD monitor??

[rdouglass]

Fyron, you seemed to have your mind made up. That's OK, some prefer Dodge, some prefer Ford, some prefer Honda, etc., etc.

Since you asked, here is a CNET review of the AL1914 LCD:

It has a native of 1280x1024 and I bought it for $264 except I got the black bezel version (the specs are identical). I have 3 other 19" CRT's and none of them are on my desk - only the LCD and IMO it was worth the extra money.
