Recently, I had to replace my Eizo 17" CRT monitor. I could have bought a good 
CRT based monitor, but made the mistake of looking at the better made LCDs. I 
bought a LG, which cost more than NECs and some others, but the advantages 
are VERY visable. I'm using 1280x1024, but remember than LCD's, well most 
anyway, provide a FULL 17" of screen area. I have 1 client who is somewhat 
visually impaired and set her's up at 1024x768.

I do a LOT of high-end digital photos, and process all of them on this box 
with the Gimp, printing as large as 13"x19". The LCD works VERY well for that 
type of work and is worth the money.

Hope this helps,

Fred
