    You'll probably want something local. I think shipping alone on one of those is going to run you close to $100 because of the weight.

    There are LCDs on the market nowadays that do gaming quite well - alot of people up to the guys who do professional reviews now use an LCD screen. I've got Gate and Dell 24" screens, and I do a good amount of gaming on the PC, and they're both great.

    The one problem with LCD technology is that there isn't a panel out there which does it all well. Some panels are great for gaming because of their latency and overall good color reproduction, but those panels aren't quite good enough with colors to be suited for something like design work. There are other panels that have absolute stellar color reporduction that are great for design work, but that comes at the expense of latency and they're not well siuted for gaming.

    I do both, so I have a couple TN panels for gaming and a S-IPS panel that I do all my graphics design and CGI work on. Don't get me wrong, the Gateway that I have also has excellent color accuracy, and should work for all gamers and about 99.9% of the rest of folks out there, but it's not quite good enough for design work.

    If you can fit a 24in go find a HP/Sony FW9012. When I bought it many sites recommended it and it was lauded as one of the best CRT Monitors ever made. .23mm dot pitch, 2304 x 1440 @ 80hz resolution, 22.5" viewable screen, etc. It is a professional monitor for graphic artists and such.

    I bought mine for <$300. Never seen a better picture on any kind of monitor or TV ever.
