Well, my 17" monitor was getting dimmer and dimmer, so splashed out on an 17" LG Flatron last week - and am very well pleased - much sharper, satisfactory horizotal viewing angle of about 120 deg - and it takes up a damn sight less desk real estate. It has a button to select ambient lighting (day,night) and type of display (text, movie, photo). Although I don't really need to adjust it. And much less reflection than I used to get off the CRT face.
