	Thanks, Preston.

	So:: boiling it down to a make and a line, now Chuck [[ and you ]]
	give thumbs-up on the Dell.  "UltraSharp", rt?

	A personal note from the cheapes--er, *thriftiest* guy alive:
	for a new display, price isn' the driving force.  it's quality--
	which includes durabiility, function, &c.  (actually, i wouldn't
	mind 19+.) 20" [[[ and when the hell are we going to join the 18th
	Century and go-metric?! ]]] ....20" is about the max since i cram
	as many xterms with tiny fonts as possible.  so
	brightness+contrast matter.   [[ if i could get out easily, i
	might check out the 24" ... but that would only give me LCD-envy!!
	--ah, *life* :-| ]]


	Anyhow, ao far, i'm looking at the Hanns-G, the Samsung SyncMaster
	(941BW), And possobily the VIewSonic.  And the Dell UltraSharp.

	(gReat if Costco has these; but i'll try egghead.com too.)

	Anybody here in the States have any other recommmendation, 
	plese gimmmee a shout:-)

	gary
