I have a fairly good moniter at work, not sure of the specs and all though. It may have a lot to do with what I do also. Doing CAD work involves alot of detail stuff, sitting and staring at the moniter trying to figure things out, zoom in, zoom out, blah, blah. But I have an LCD moniter at home, and I do agree it's alot better to work with. If I could just get them to buy me an 18" LCD moniter at work
