    22" widescreen Hanns LCD. It also has a HDMI input which I use with my DVD changers if I don't want to turn the projector on. It's shared between my HTPC and my encoding computer with a KVM switch. I also have three 15" LCDs and three 17" LCDs on various computers around the house.

    Was a 16:10 1680x1050 Samsung 226BW that went flickery. Replaced with a 16:9 1920x1080 Samsung 2333HD.

    Second monitor is a Vizio 19" HDTV. Third monitor is a Philips HD Ready CRT. Thes are connected to 2 Win7 PCs.

    The other station has a Mac connected to a 20" 1680x1050 Samsung 205BW and a Win7 PC connected to another Vizio 20"HDTV. Third monitor is a Sony PVM video monitor.

    I'm not saying any of these are the best, just what I have.

    On my editing computer, I have two 21" CRT monitors side by side that I split the Windows desktop between them. They still work and look great so why change? I also like the extra height on those monitors that I don't get with the newer widescreen monitors.

    My general purpose computers have 19" CRT monitors......because that is what I had (price was right....$0) and they still work great. Lets me spend my money on things I need rather than just keep upgrading unnecessarily.

    When these die, I'll replace with something comparable.

    I'm currently using a Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW that I bought recently to replace a failing 7-year-old Samtron 17-inch CRT monitor. I chose a 16:9 monitor instead of 16:10 to be able to watch 16:9 video more conveniently.

    It may not be the best LCD monitor on the market, but it is one of the best computer-related purchases I ever made. It can't match my old CRT when it comes to black, but the clarity is amazing, and my eyes don't get as tired as they did when I used a CRT. Since it has both a DVI port and an D-SUB port, I can connect it to both my new and old computers at the same time and switch back and forth between them just using a button on the monitor. No more manually changing the connection and I didn't have to buy a KVM switch.

    My daily workhorse pc (aging xp emachine) uses a 4:3 crt monitor.

    My dual core amd vista pc (home premium 32bit) is hooked up to my 32" hdtv (1366x768 ). I am currently using a dvi to hdmi cable. I do have full hdmi out with my ati hd all-in-wonder card.
