Old one died, looking for some nice flatscreen job for editing purposes, 21 inches or more. Anyone have suggestions? Know of deals?

Thanks.

Dell 24" widescreen. I decided against the 30" screen because of the contrast and brightness difference. The 24 is a lot brighter and has a higher contrast. I think its on sale right now.

I don't know why anyone with editing in mind would even consider the 30" it has a single DVI input and that's it.

i love my 24" although a second would be cool too.

Guys, i have the Dell 24", but it is not good enough for me.
I would rather prefer a tube monitor. Is there anything out there capable of HD resolution that would give better colors and contrast than the DELL 24"?
thanks

I'm taking a serious look at the new Sceptre 37" LCD that does full blown 1920x1080 widescreen - and at a price well under 2k. The specs on that monitor are just awesome for the price (almost in the unbelievable realm).
