Well, when I upgraded my pc back end of last year, I bought a 'cheap' 200 tft....and to be honest it beats the hell out of the expensive ones we use at work.... I can't say I've got a single complaint about it. Sorry, Slynkster, but I'd say it's totally down to personal preference - having used tft exclusively in work situations for the last 3 years, I used to find coming home to my crt a real bitch - and it had a flipping brilliant picture compared to any of my mates - I couldn't go back to one now.
