Gloftoe, these days I run everything at 1600x1200...hence my comment about being shortchanged by being limited to 1280x1024. My buddy has the same LCD...while it looks good, it doesn't look as good, imho, as my CRT at the higher resolution. He brought it over, and we did a side by side with UT2003 and a few other games.
Personal preference, I guess.
Superchicken, how small is your desk that you can't acomodate a CRT? I've put a monitor in some pretty small spaces.
