I don't want to pay 200 bucks more for a one inch difference. 19 inch monitors are the best deals. the widescreens ARE pretty **** cool, though. Are the contrast ratios really that important?

Is the 80 dollar price difference worth it when the only difference between the two 19 inchers is 6ms?

Also, what's wrong with the crt i linked to? Is there anything worse about crt's when compared to lcds when it comes to picture quality?

The widescreen monitors are peaking my interest, but the best buy one is expensive.
