^^: 74n if you want an LCD, but as you have mentioned gaming, i am not sure 8ms (reponse time of that monitor) is good enough, so you may think of getting a 19" CRT

if you are an hardcore gamer get a 19in crt, or a samsung 740n will do quite well.

okay guys, tomorrows the day i buy, so any quick suggestions would be helpful....also, i heard there are monitors which strain the eyes, so are there any which don't...?
@drvarunmehta: from the thread in the reviews section by mav3, it doesn't seem as if the 740n is a very good monitor.....
@jz2linkinpark@yes, some names would be helpful
also, what is the cheapest 19" lcd and a similar priced 19" CRT? thank you

oh......sorry.....thats a price from my personal dealer;), that too that monitor can be gotten as low as $208, but as i checked the price with a reputed dealer who offers actual after-sales service, so price went to the high side....:D

yes, i am very, very impressed with the monitors performance.....i am not sure of fps games but yes, i played nfs carbon on the monitor and i didn't experience any problems with the respnso time, in fact, i would say it runs better than on my previous samsung 793mg(CRT):D
