If anyone has viewed the "Computer Advice Needed" thread they would know that I recently upgraded every component in my system (all that remains is the old 80gig Western Digital Harddrive)
All of this new speed and whatnot is really nice, but I'm still using this crappy MAG Innovision 13" VGA monitor when I've got a GeForce 6600 OC 512MB DDR2 PCI Express card on a GeForce4 Ultra Motherboard with a AMD 64 3800+ Processor and 2 Gigs of ram.
Now that the system specs are out of the way, what should I be looking for in a flat-panel LCD monitor? The card states it runs DVI-I, VGA and HDTV, and I'm guessing DVI-I is what I'm looking for, but whats good out there that wont continue to put me in the poor house?
