What kind of computer monitors do you use?

I'm still using my old Hitachi 19" CRT monitor. It's big, it's ugly, but it gets the job done. I'm waiting for a certain mystical alignment of stars before I jump into the widescreen LCD world.

Well, mine was relatively cheap, has no noticeable ghosting (8ms), is a Samsung, is speaker-free , is 19" (which actually has more screen real estate than my old 19" CRT), and has both DVI and analog connectors- which I use to hook 2 PCs (occasionally 3) to the same monitor.

I don't really care about HDMI, and widescreen would be nice, but it's not at all important to me. The only real drawback is if I go back to play older games that are locked at 640x480 since my LCD's native res is 1280x1024. The pixel zooming makes the already primitive graphics look even more pixelated. Bear in mind though, this problem would only get worse with larger screen LCDs that have much higher native resolutions. Similarly, a higher rez lcd will make current games more demanding since they require a higher resolution to look good.
