Bestbuy has a decent 19" MAG band monitor on sale this week for $99.00 (after $50 rebate).

My old 17" dies about two weeks ago and this was a nice deal. Should bide me over till flat screens come down in price more over the next few years.

I heard somewhere that if you get an LCD you may have problems with fast paced games burning images onto the screen because the pixels cant change color fast enough...?

That is not a problem with Rear Projoction LCDs nor is screen burn-in.

No problems with that. Plasma displays have had/has the problem with images beeing burnt into the screen.

If you mean something we call ghosting, then yes. That is only a problem with lw quality displays tho.
