Its for gaming of course. Now I'm under the impression that the best looking picture you can get is still from a CRT monitor. So...

1) Money isn't a problem

2) Anything goes CRT/LCD

Suggestions?

I recently bought a dell and it's working out fine. There's a couple that are bigger (24.5 inch or so) and are 1,200 or so as well.

Yeahp. This is what I recommend if you want a great gaming monitor. It will likely be my next purchase. They aren't super cheap: $1200 retail, though you can find it for around $900-$950 if you look hard enough. If the higher price tag doesn't scare you off, here's what you should know:

The game needs to support 1920x1600 to take full advantage of the wide, massive screen real estate. However, for games that don’t, I'm told the built-in stretching algorhytm works quite well. The refresh, contrast etc. are very good.

Cheers,

I got the dell 21" 2105 and love it. If you watch slickdeals.net you can get a good deal if you act fast enough. I got it new for under $300.

Playing through DS2 lately. Disbanded from Alarius and posting my retirement from EQ in a few days. I'm keeping EQ1, EQ2, and SWG active and installed but rarely load them. There's a DnD rts coming out which I expect to be good and hoping the DnD online game is worth trying. Between that and downloading interesting video clips, my time is all sucked up.

Any LCD with 8ms response time will be great (the screens themselves are only made by 2 or 3 different manufacturers). I'd recommend LCD over CRT for a large screen, simply from the desk real-estate problem that a large CRT has. LCD picture is pretty damn amazing compared to CRT as well.
