I have finally updated my monitor at home. I bought 23″/58.4 cm widescreen LCD from Philips and its awesome! Color and look is great. It can do WUXGA, wide format 1920×1200 resolution with viewing angle up to 176 degrees. I have 22″ CRT Lacie at work and it feels like little old crappy CRT next to this beautiful Philips 230W5BS/00. I was a bit afraid to go for LCD monitor since I am used to CRT screens but it really looks like LCD’s are better that CRT screens.
I honestly think that this is the best monitor I have ever seen.
