If you save about $100, you can get this nice Acer 22" monitor:

look for something with a low response time like 2ms or 5ms.

Yeah, anything below 5ms is fine, 2ms is overkill but a nice bragging point 5ms is the point where you stop seeing any blur at all. You want a good contrast ratio, anything below 1000:1 will look a bit shit these days.

Brightness

P.O.S! I know what I'm going to start looking into...

They're bigger, uglier, and if I'm not mistaken use up a lot more energy. The good LCDs these days are so good that they are either as good or better than top-end CRTs.

Get one with DVI connectors if you can.
