20-21 inch LCD

Hi,

I'm in the market for a 20-21 inch LCD to replace my aging 21 inch
Trinitron and am unfortunately out of my league. Add to that the lack
of "large LCD" reviews out there and I feel like I'm going in blind
here.

So I'm hoping I can get some recommendations. I'm not a gamer -- I
occasionally play Flight Simlator where things move fairly slow, so I
don't think response time is a major factor for me though it would be
nice not to notice ghosting/etc during normal usage (Internet stuff,
applications, etc). Other than that, I'm not sure what specs are
important. My one concern is resolution -- all the 20+ inch LCD's
seem to be 1600X1200 native, and I'm not sure my eyes will be able to
handle it. Are there any that have a smaller native resolution?

Any words of wisdom will be immensely appreciated.

Thanks,
James

If text size is a concern, look for a good 19" with 1280x1024. I have a
Viewsonic VP201 and the text is a bit small but this is at home where I
mostly play games and surf the web. At work, I use a 19" with 1280x1024
because of the larger text size.

Regards
John Yuen
