Monitors are much higher quality than TVs and will give you a better picture, but are far more expensive per inch than TVs.If you want a lot of bang for your buck in terms of a Monitor. High quality 21" monitors are pretty cheap $300 or less for trinitron models, though shipping may well add to that. One word of warning about the LCD monitors, if you get a sufficiently inexpensive one, you may have ghosting problems in fast moving video games as the response time on the LCD display may not be sufficient to keep up with the frame rate. If you can, I'd go and look at various displays before chosing one. Over all though, the CRT is still the best if you can put up with the space it takes.BTW Do you have a rough budget as to what you are looking to spend on the system? $1000, $1,500+ etc...I personally would steer away from the ATI All-In-Wonder Models. My experience is that the multimedia features those models have are rarely used and you are paying a $50-$100 premium for having them. If you are on a budget those are dollars better spent on a faster graphics card.Do your shopping on <a href="http://www.Pricewatch.com" target="_blank">www.Pricewatch.com</a>, it's the best guide to prices I've found. If you just want to get it all from one vendor <a href="http://www.NewEgg.com" target="_blank">www.NewEgg.com</a> is usually among the cheapest and I've had excellent experiences dealing with them.</blockquote>
