looking to buy an lcd monitor

lcd's don't last as long, actually, because they depend on a backlight, vs. crt's which create their own light

That monitor looks alright, for an extra $30 you could have done a lot better, tho. 20"ers with 1680x1050 res. start at around $199.
 
The main reasons I didn't buy a bigger monitor is because I want to stay at or under 200 dollars. There was one 20.1 inch for 200 and free shipping but it only had a one year warranty vs. the three year warranty mine has. I would rather have a three year warranty than a one year warranty even if the one that has the one year warranty is better.
 
Well I got my new monitor today and so far I love it. Right now the only thing I don't like about it is the buttons on the front are kind of hard to see even in a lighted room because I am looking at a bright screen then going to black. There are some small problems with the display. For example, I use Outlook Express for my email and whenever I receive a message, AVG scans it and it is not in the right place but no big deal.

Right now that is my only problem I have with it but other than that it is a great monitor. I am glad I went with a widescreen instead of standard.
 
I have a question. Whenever I hear people talking about response time, they refer to either GTG or Black to white. Which one is better and what is my monitor? What does those two things mean?
