17" Viewsonic. Has the most stunningly accurate colors (after calibration of course).

Yeah, the eyestrain of this one is killing me when I try to play CoH for a couple of hours, then my mom gives me shit about bloodshot eyes as if it really matters.

CRTs are better for gaming: faster response, less eyestrain, and more contrast.
Plus, they're harder to steal/damage.
(One of the nice new 17" TFTs at my school had someone poke a pen through it. Big hole, kinda funny )
But i prefer CRTs myself, although I have ready access to the new stuff.
However, I play on a 118" projector screen, so not too much of an issue.
Agreed.

I prefer CRTs due to their better colors, LCDs are to washed out and bright for me, that and Im not a fan of stuff going pixelly on me, nor the dead pixel issue(though not as common now)

The eye strain issue I have never noticed, I run at 72hz, and have no issue staring at this thing for hours, just fine.

Iiyama cheap crap?

Are you mental? The Iiyama visionmaster CRTs are amongst the best monitors available - they were legendary and that monitor will still provide a much better quality image than ANY LCD. No wonder you're happy with it. I still have a 19" Iiyama lying around, it's still awesome (except it sometimes makes high pitched noises when you push the refresh too far).

Iiyama have gone a different direction in the LCD market, making cheap, yet still astonishingly good value LCDs.

I've got a 19' LCD screen for my PC, BenQ.

And a BANG & OLUFSON 32' for my PS3, which I can hook my PC up to.

Eizo are particularly good if, as you say, you're not worried about $$$. The CG241W is an outstanding monitor. If you want to see what an image can look like on an LCD, this is the one to get.

17" Samsung. When LCDs do 85Hz at a reasonable price, I'll look into them.

You're damn right about that. I used to have a 17" Visionmaster back in '97. Top of the range at the time. It could do 1600x1200.
