Thanks!

I use this thing for work as a backup PC so using a computer monitor is a requirement more or less.

The Dell LCD works fine for everything from Space Wars to House of the Dead to Space Ace. Plays movies well too!

I like LCD's for allowing me to make smaller machines:

At the moment I use an Eizo 2431. The biggest problem for me with LCD's were blackness and viewing angles. The newest S-PVA screens seem to handle this very well. The Eizo also throws in room-light brightness compensation, what adds to the blacks quality.
With TV's selection is much harder. I know that even with TV's you have TN and S-PVA, but noone specifies it in the tech specs. Only price and manufacturer can be a small indication.
For 3:4 (vertical) gaming the 21.3 inch Samsung 214T is still killer.
New great kid on the block is the 27 inch Dell 2709W. Don't even expect any LCD TV to come close to the image quaity of these 2431SW, the Dell 2709 and the Samsung 214T. It is a total different league.
Pictures will follow soon.

My opinion on LCD vs. Arcade Monitors: The classic games are famous for their pixel art. High Def LCD is the best way to show this blockiness. It is the technique of today, and perfect to show the detail of the history. Why display Blinky blurry, as you could see how carefull the pixels are aranged to make the ghost image!

Guess it's a 5:4 screen. As far as I know, 17 and 19 inchers are always 1024x1280 pixel 5:4 displays. If you want 4:3 either pick a tiny 1024x768 13 incher, or a 1600x1200 20 or 21 incher.
