I recently bought one of those DSE 1440x900 LCD monitors. its very nice.

Nor do I play games on my PC. its a tool. I've also had my entire 
lifetime quota of games (my folks owned many, many arcade machines when 
I was a boy, then I worked for 3 years servicing them before getting a 
degree)

I have no intention of buying a fancy TV though - all TV is shit, 
regardless of the picture size.
