Hello all, this is my first post so please gentle. :)

I'm looking to buy a 19 inch monitor to get rid of my clunky 17 inch CRT. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I do like to play the occasional game (Rise of Nations), so I don't really need the cream of the crop.

I checked out some reviews and I've selected these. It seems to me that no matter which I pick, it'll be a great monitor. Maybe? However, if you have other recommendations, please let me know.

I've got a Proview 19"widescreen which i think is really good,
but i dont really have anything to compare it with. i think that the best at the moment is the 20.1"phillips Brilliance, though i'm sure that other people are gonna say its crap or whatever, i saw it in a shop and it looked fantastic. also 19 inch are usually limited to 1440X900 whereas a 20 can go to 1600X1050(I think anyway)
there were a few articles about this a few weeks/months ago
