Nice! I want a flat panel, but the ones that are good for gaming are still too expensive for me.

A $290 LCD probably won't cut it... it has to have a rise and fall time of 25ms or less or you'll see ghosting. Also, cheap LCDs have high dot pitch that doesn't make a nice picture.

Screw flat-screens, they are over-rated... I picked up my 19" (17.9" viewable) monitor last year for about $200, and is great quality... with 200 bucks you are looking at maybe a 7" screen:-P

I disagree. Flat screens (not LCD, but CRT) are very nice compared to normal screens.
