I have a 17" TFT screen. Its great..and keep in mind a 17" is equivalnet to an 18" CRT. NOt sure why has somethign to do witht eh way the bezel lines up the screen...Just don't expect to game with it. and a 19" in canada is still pricy.. I paid $500 on sale at Xmas last year for this one.. the TFT came in @ about $500 too. So they are still expensive either way...but and LCD is brighter & smaller.. so its really your choice there. But native resolution means that it can't go higher w/out looking like shit. Or lower for that matter. Which kinda sucks for some stuff like games & certain apps (Gimp for example if you want to run it higher). Femme
