New Monitor

I just received a Dell 1901FP (19" LCD monitor) at work today to replace my old Compaq P70 (17" Trinitron CRT). It's like I put on a new pair of glasses that not only made things sharper, but increased the clarity of colors as well. What a huge improvement.

I've been impressed by my higher-res 14" LCD on my work notebook, but the size and the brightness of the 1901FP makes it my favorite of the two. I may have to consider an LCD display vs. flat-screen CRT when it comes time to replace my primary monitor at home. However, my venerable Samsung 17GLsi shows no signs of quitting anytime soon.

How do the LCD's do wiht glare? I work under a crap-load of fluorescent lights all day and with a CRT I had to buy a glare-guard. I was just wondering if the flat panels cut down on that in "extreme" light situations.

I'm directly under a fluorescent light fixture here at work and there is no glare at all. I think all the current LCDs have anti-reflective screens.
