I'm using a HP monitor with a 21" triniton tube but in the last few weeks it has started flickering and snapping in and out of focus, but until that point I loved it particularty with its 1600 x 1200 resolution.
I too have been researching LCD screens, and not wanting to downsize on resolution have been contemplating a 24" widescreen but decent ones have price tags of ~£600+
so I was very interested in your post. I'd be interested to know the name of the ebay seller that you bought your screens from, and where are they located.
