ok, anybody out there had some good experiences with late-model flat panels? i'm kinda thinking about getting one, but i have some concerns.

basically, i got a deal with a guy that he's going to be ordering a $2000 computer of my choice, and i'm considering throwing in a flat panel. due to the financial constraints of sorts, i'm looking primarily at mistubishi and samsung, 18" viewable.

my concerns are i'll really miss my CRT. i do a lot of graphics stuff, and i also heard they suck for games. i think they look cool, and the space savings is definitely a plus, but if the image isn't going to be accurate, and fairly similar in its res and such to my crt, then i guess there's really no reason to switch.

i realize there may be some degradation, but by how much?

anyway, thanks for the info ahead. i'm trying to stay under $600 with this thing, so no crazy-ass viewsonic 24".
