Dying Monitor

Well, my monitor appears to be failing.  Even as we speak, I'm being wowed with a beautiful assortment of flashing colors.  Unfortunately, this time the cable is not the culprit.  I fear the worst...

Looks like I'm gonna need a new monitor sooner than I had hoped.  This is probably as good a time as any to jump headlong into the LCD flat panel world.  I went to Fry's to check some out this evening to check some out.  To keep me in my current feature set, I would need 1600x1200 resolution.  This doesn't appear to be possible for under $1000.  My LCD-related requirements are:

  • At least 500:1 Contrast Ratio
  • At least 400 cd/m2 Brightness
  • DVI AND Analog (VGA) inputs -  This way I don't have to upgrade my video card immediately
  • At least 1280x1024 resolution

Fry's got a nice 19" Sony and a 19" Samsung that meet my requirements.  I'll have to figure out which one soon.
