Jeez Adam, you've got to see a good 19" crt and video card sometime. I'm using a Hitachi SuperScan Elite 721, with a GForce video card. I run at 1600x1200 with nary a flicker. It blows away any LCD I've ever seen for detail and at 1280x1024 is crisper than any LCD to my eyes. I only wish I could duplicate the subtlety's I see on screen in a print. I'm going to weep real tears when this baby dies and I have to replace it with an LCD.
