Hobbit love? We got really bored towards the end of the second movie, and wanted the Ents to find the Entwives just because that kind of stuff will sell on the internet!
I've got an older 17" Sony Trinitron (Somewhere around either 93 or 96), and it's great. The Aperture Grille is great. I've got two moniters sitting side by side, the Trini and a fairly cheap 17" ViewSonic. I have the Trini set as my main, and the crispness is just great.
Now, for where to buy: Don't rule out the Used Computer stores. The older moniters have be gone through to weed out the ones that will go bad. Most of them should allow you a fairly decent return policy. Go for at least a week. Take it home for a few days, check it out, and don't be afraid to take it back if it doesn't work for you.
Sony does sell the Trinitron to other companies, who remark it and sell it under their own brand. Most of them should have a decent warranty. Some of the refurbished units even have a year warranty. I think some of the Dells do. I know they buy Trinitron tech, and remark it with Dell logos. They still have Trinitron label on them, but they're marked Dell instead of Sony.
In short, don't be afraid to hit the smaller stores in your town, especially if they sell used/refurbished. And try and get a trinitron if you can. They're great. I don't have an advice on LCDs, others have said enough.

And trust me, the layout isn't that much more efficient!

I think I just got my new wallpaper :P I decided to test Google with "testing"... The first image that came up was a pretty cool wallpaper.
Now, starting first grade, she volunteers that math is 'ok,'
So how many of YOU GUYS knew exactly what you wanted to do when you started first grade? How many times did it change between then and college?
