LCD Recommendation for 8800GTX?

    Managed to get my hands on a XPS710 dirt cheap, was planning on building but too good a price to pass up. Was a pretty spur of the moment purchase, and as such havent really thought about a monitor. Have a 17" CRT to tide me over, but looking for a nice flatscreen as I am a bit stuck for space.

    As such, what sorta resolution/screen size can it support comfortably? I dont want to get a 19" to find out that it can cope with a 22" etc. Looking for a monitor that will be decent for gaming, but dont want to break the bank (ie, sub €400, preferably very sub :p), any recommendations? Cheers.

    Samsung 206/226BW or CW are as good as it gets in the lower price range widescreen, so buy, you won't be dissapointed. 206=20", 226=22" BTW.

    Samsung 245B

    Sub 500 but then you wouldn't need a new monitor for years.

    Also any screen below 24" will have a 1680x1050 resolution
    which is pretty poor to be honest.

    So go €100 more (477 to be exact in pixmania) and get a
    delicious resolution of 1900x1200.
