Suggestions for LCD monitor

My 19" CRT is starting to flake out and I was considering an LCD to replace it. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 19" LCD monitor less than $600?

It will be used mostly for business productivity however I play PC games now and again. Something with Analog and DVI inputs for PC/Mac.

Rotating to Portrait and Landscape modes would be a neat feature but not required. Quality of the display is most important.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recently bought a Planar 19" LCD to use on my old G4. It gives me a headache within 30 minutes. My suggestion is to stay away from Planar monitors (explains why they're less expensive).

My 2 cents

There is no such thing as a decent 19" LCD monitor for $600. Its unfortunate, but true

Keep in mind, however, that a 19" LCD is the same size as a 21" CRT. If you want something the same size as your 19" CRT, go look for a 17" LCD. You can easily find good 17 inchers for under $600.

I have a 17" Sony (SDM-S74) with DVI-output and it is simply amazing. Bright colors, sharp contrast and amazing quality. I love it.
Newegg $437 when I bought it.

Ill amend my post and say that you could find a good 19" LCD for $600 if you looked, but its going to be right on that $600 mark.

I was always wondering about how the LCD and CRT sizes were comparable. I'll probably be very happy with a 17" LCD.

Thanks for the suggestions.
