Well I have a P225f ViewSonic 22" (20" viewable) flat screen crt. Payed about $850 for it all in all with shipping when I got it, retails for ~$750 now so its holding up there well. And for a good reason, best monitor I have ever laid my eyes on, proffesional all the way. I love my 120MHz refresh rate 
But you know how it is, sometimes you just want a little more. After looking around for a bit I am at a stand still.
I got excited because of the Dell 2405FPW and its Samsung counter part. The Dell 2405FPW and the Samsung both use the same Samsung PVA panel. It's contrast ratio and color reproduction is very good, but it's response time seems to be a bit slower then the next lot I pondered.
The Apple Cinema displays, and the HP L2335, both use LG Phillips Super IPS panels...which have slightly lower contrast ratios, but slightly better response times (according to most objective testing). Most people agree, I think, that the SIPS panels are slightly better, especially for gaming.
I looked today in person at the 23" and 30" Apple displays and they are very nice. I really like the 30" and it hits hard at about $3000. But I am justa bout ready to spend that much anyway. Found some good deals for about $2500. Its one of the best LCD screens I have seen yet but my CRT is still better.
At this point what is really on my mind is CRT flat screen monitors 24" and bigger. A 30" CRT might be a little a little to huge but I was wondering if there is something in the middle.
Basicaly looking for a 24" and up CRT, flat screen.
Can anyone point out anything worth considering? Just having a hard time finding them.
thanks guys
