I'd love to get a 21" LCD but 1600X1200 is too small for me. I mostly
use the computer to read text. Are there any 21" LCDs that are under
1600X1200 these days?

No, unfortunately that resolution is industry standard for that size.

Try looking for a LCD TV/monitor. Pixel format should be smaller on that
application,
perhaps such as "WVGA" which is 864 by 480. But, due to higher light output,
and demand,
price is likely not very atractive.

You and ME both.
I just installed a 20 LCD and the 'default' resolution was so high
I could not make out the text with a magnifying glass. DANG!
When I set it to a lower resolution it became blurry...

I generally use 1024x768 on my 21" Mits and, with some old eyes,
that is fine. Higher resolution and I am tired after a few hours.

Hope the makers get smart 'cause they have to find a way around
the 'high rez' LCDs for us old folks.

You could try using the component inputs on a 1024x768 LCD TV or looking for
one that has DVI.
