Decent 19" LCD?

I'm looking to replace my 10 year old 15" CRT with something decent. I only play CS casually so I don't particularly care if CRT are better for it. I'm more of a RTS/RPG player these days anyway.

Everyone seems to be recommending the 226BW but it's too big. I fear it'll ruin my eyes sitting close to a huge monitor.

So I think a 19" would be the best option.

ViewSonic vx922 is pretty amazing.

226bw!

I did my homework and this appears to be the best monitor out there atm. It's 2ms, not wide-screen, and runs at a native resolution of 1280 x 1024. It's 3000:1 contrast ratio blows the vx922 out of the water (650:1)

#8 that monitor is not under warrant because it is discontinued. It's not smart to purchase an LCD when its not under warranty.
