Thing is, here in South Africa, things are very expensive...

The samsung im looking at getting cost $330...

Its between these two

Samsung SyncMaster 920NW - $300

Samsung SyncMaster 753GW - $330

That is for a 19", 1440x900 screen

Its too expensive to go more than that, and to be honest, i really dont mind my 17" CRT screen size

19" wide is plenty, plus, i wanna play crysis on high (possibly very high)...

When LCD's were new to the market, I would agree. While this is still true LCD's today have response times as low as 2-4ms, which is significantly faster then the 20ms+ LCD's of years ago. Not to mention that LCD's use less power, have brighter displays, much smaller, etc.

They are even coming up with LCD's that will turn off pixels to achieve the true black similar to CRT's, which will give them huge 10,000:1 (or was it 100,000:1?) contrast ratios.
