An LCD for a CRT user

So I'd like to get some LCD's for both of my machines. Going to hook them up with a dual monitor arm (my dad happens to sell this kind of stuff, lucky me), have the second screen switchable between the two computers. I have yet to make the plunge because I'm still a little unsure about a few things and am looking for some opinions.

Keep in mind I use my main computer purely for gaming, and a little web/graphic design. I use my second computer purely for business/chatbox. so:

1) Widescreen or 4:3? For gaming, which really works out best. I play most kinds of games, but a lot of FPS's.

2) Size? 19" seems very affordable (and my fiance is already having a tantrum about even buying one). The Dell 1905fp seems good, but would I be happy with the Dell monitors coming from purely CRT's?

3) Is the added cost for going for something from like say a 1905fp to a 193+ really worth it?
 
the Dell 1905FP would be good for gaming, ONLY if you got the 8ms version of the screen. The 20ms PVA version is not suitable for any major gaming., If you're a gamer and coming from a CRT, you may find it difficult at first to get used to the TFT. The 8ms 19" models around are perhaps the best gamers screens at the moment, Models like the Hyundai L90D+, Samsung 913N/913B and the like are very popular right now and would be a good choice. There is also the excellent Viewsonic VP191B to consider.
