After a nice paycheck I was able to get the new monitor. LG 22" 2ms response, 1680x1050 true 16:10 some crazy level of dynamic contrast (already turned that off though). It's a sweet looking monitor before you even turn it on, and the colors and response are super-crisp. Not a hint of ghosting, and it's the perfect size for how far I sit from my monitor. Very nice, very very nice.

The new computer now feels REALLY new!

Edit: Got the monitor at BestBuy since I wasn't sure if it was exactly what I wanted. Ended up being a price change before the 14 days were up, and got a LG 23" true HD 16:9 1920x1080 w/ extra HDMI input for $2 more. Even the guy at the customer service desk thought it was a nice find on the upgrade. I wish these monitors had better black level, but I think I just need to wait for LED monitors to get thier response time down to 2ms. Looking forward to that!
