    I'm sure you can do stuff like that in Linux, I've just never really needed to before.

    I may just go ahead and get the Dell monitor my Dad got ( http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-4688), cause I haven't been able to find any others I like, and I don't want to settle on a budget monitor. I think it won't won't be so bad if I set it on the corner of my desk and view it at an angle (my desk is small to look at it straight on without my eyes hurting) Or I'll just buy a new desk.

    I have a Dell 2001 FP. I'm actually thinking about getting a 19" CRT for the occassional PC game. The 16ms response rate my monitor has is too slow for me to enjoy games, and I dislike how everything must be scaled to its native resolution, 1600x1200. Other than that, it has nice viewing angels and the colors and black levels seem very good. I would have bought a smaller LCD monitor, 19 or 17", if I had known about response time and native resolutions.

    Well, I wound up getting an LCD monitor this week, and I'm using it right now! It's a Samsung 906bw, which is a 19 inch widescreen. It has great color, 2000:1 contrast ratio (I know, crazy huh?), and 2 ms response time. I just hooked it up, so I'll post again after using it for a while.

    Best Buy has it on sale this week for $220, so anyone else looking for a nice monitor should check it out.
