_______________
The world of LCD PC monitors can be broken up into four groups. The "save a buck" group of 20- and 22-inch displays with resolutions of 1680x1050 can certainly deliver very good image quality if you buy the right one, but their screen size and resolution keep the price low. Many 24-inch displays are in a class by themselves; you step up to 1920x1200 resolution and move up in price, but it's considerably cheaper than the big monitors. The high end is dominated by new 30-inch displays with a resolution of 2560x1600, which is nearly twice the resolution of 1080p. You'll have a hard time running modern PC games at that resolution without a good dual-card graphics setup.
