Please comment / post link(s) showing suggestions for my new monitor. Thank you!
Upgrading soon from 21" CRT to 24" to 28" LCD, preferrably < $250 out the door.
Only for my use - viewed from 2' to 4' - PC reading, youtube, movies, no gaming.
Later may want to run satellite TV to it, but more likely will use a 2nd TV for that.
