Thanks folks, I have a 19" Samsung SyncMaster 915n that has served me well, but decided to step up to something bigger.  I bought a Samsung 24" SyncMaster 245bw and it was so bright I almost fell out of my chair.  It was a nice monitor, but appeared a bit too grainy. 

Hey Operaguy, the multimonitor is good for my flight simming!

Lots of good info!!
