    or a tv that is really a monitor, so you can have a higher res and
    better clarity. The good ones that do 1280x1024 or 1600x1200 are quite
    expensive...well they are all usually pretty expensive. Compgeeks has
    refurbished Gateway Destination monitors right now for pretty fscking
    cheap. Like a 27" for $320 or a 36" for $400.
    http://www.compgeeks.com/products.asp?cat=MON These aren't the best
    resolutions but its a lot better than a tv. I wish I had more money to
    play with or I would jump on these. (I really need a new tv too, mine's
    from 1984 or something)
