I'm looking to buy a new monitor and I wanted to get some input from everyone on what I should buy. I'm looking to get a new 17" monitor with very low emissions, high contrast, flat picture (trinitron or equivalent), and is easy on the eyes. I'll be using it mostly for gaming. I was looking into the Optiquest Q71 for a while, but I didn't like the refresh rate at 1024x768 resolution. Lately I've been hearing good things about Sony and Mitsubishi monitors and I was wondering if anyone could throw some advice my way about these 2 brands, and what models I should look at. I don't want to spend more than $300-350 and hopefully will have to pay less if I can find a good deal. Thanks.
