I have a 21'' LG flat. I'd get a 21'' if I were you, but I'm so used to large screens so yeah.

Willy...

The refresh rate might be an issue near your max resolution on that monitor... I like to play at 85hz minimum to keep it easy on the eyes....

On lower resolutions though it can handle the refresh though... you may want to lookup the exact stats and see what it can handle at 1280x1024 for instance....

I use a Viewsonic Professional Series P225FB and can recommend it without reservation.... they have 3 year warranties so you should be able to find a used one under factory warranty still at a reasonable price
