    I'm still using my dead 17". It usually stops working after a few seconds of running, but when it doesn't, it stays on quite nicely. Usually forcing it through a few display changes fixes it (like, say, restarting a computer).

    Speaking of monitors...

    I learned something after doing some research on my current monitor-

    Find out what type of panel it is. Specifically, make sure it isn't Twisted Nematic (TN)- based.

    They have crappy viewing angles, and if you view it at any angle but the front the color is off. The only selling point is a 5ms-7ms response time, and the price.

    Unfortunately, they are also the most common type. Basically, if all they advertise is the response time, and it's cheap, it's a TN panel.

    If you were to buy my monitor (Q241wb) now, it would be a TN panel. Luckily, I got one of the last VA panel ones they made, and it works amazingly nicely.

    Actually, TN panels are best for gaming, as they have the lowest input latency. I don't mind the viewing angle, I don't even notice any color difference at all when gaming with my TN panel. I think it's awesome :/

    Here's a review of my monitor that explains.

    .

    The vertical viewing angles are crappy, horizontal is fairly good. Also, just because it is cheap doesn't mean it has to be TN.
    Those 24" Soyo Office Max was selling for $299 were *VA panels for a long time until some TNs appeared. Westinghouse has a 24" MVA with the extra video ports for under 400 as well.

    There are a few 26" IPS panels out there that are great for gaming as well.

    On a monitor of my size (24"), viewing angle becomes a problem, because the edge of the monitor is so far away from my face.

    Although it would be nice to have a monitor that supported DVI :/
