BIG monitor req'd

[vega]

As my crappy generic 19 inch monitors on its last legs, I've decided to take the plunge and purchase a new, good quality large screen monitor (crt) but find that theres quite a bewildering number of monitors out there - are there any happy large screeners out there who can make recomendations?
My budget is £550

22" IIyama for £514.- near the bottom.

Recommended: Sony, Eizo, IIyama, NEC

I have a 19" Sony 420GS. If I would ever need a bigger monitor, it would almost certainly be a Sony CRT. Love the flat Trinitron.

If Im not to late,

I too, love my games, so when it came time to upgrade, this is what I did.

ATI AIW with DVI, to a Sony WEGA 36" flatscreen (crt) also with DVI connection.....makes for some in your face game playing.

now theres an idea! Hooking it up to my panasonic 36 pf10 would be pretty cool but for one thing - on such a big screen, theres the inevitable loss of resolution and I'd also have to move one of my computers into the same room as the tv which would be one hell of an hassle.

What resolutions are you running on the Wega? Is it a high-def monitor? I cannot get my Hitachi 57'' high def to be recognized as anything other than plug and play vga. Waiting to upgrade my geforce 4200ti until they make a card with component outputs though if I could pick up a cheap ATI card that would work, I may scrap my plans to build a mini-itx theater pc and go with a shuttle instead.

Projection monitors might not be ideal for a primary display in a desktop environment, but in a dual display set-up anyone with the room in their office might consider a table-top projection rig for gaming. Akai makes a great 42'' for $800 bucks which would be close to vega's price point.

widescreen hdtv display so you can run at 1920x1080, and with hdcp/dvi input.
this one is still in your range, (one pound = about $2.25 canadian right?) and it has the same dynaflat technology as the pc montiors. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pr...d=10639&logon=&langid=EN&dept=11&WLBS=fsweb-6
