Well I would love an LCD personally, although it is only recently that
some with fast enough transition times are starting to come out.  Of
course there also doesn't seem to be any standard on how to measure the
responsiveness on a screen that gives any kind of useful data yet, well
unless you put a nice graph in the documentation, and apparently
marketing people prefer a nice simple number they can claim is better
than everyone elses.

of course I also want one that is 4:3 aspect ratio, and I won't work on
a 15", which pretty much leaves 19"+ which isn't cheap.

I don't know why they can't release 1280x960 or 1400x1050 displays
rather than all those cheap 1280x1024 stupid things everyone is making.
If I was going to use a non 4:3 resolution it better be because the
screen isn't 4:3 itself.
