I have a 21" Trinitron that I believe is starting to slowly die, it's not as sharp as it used to be (some color bleed around text, etc) and the image sort of gradually grows off the screen if its on for a couple hours or more, so I think it's time to upgrade.

The last LCD I've had was a Dell 2001fp, which performed pretty well for me, and I believe it used a PVA panel, so I'm looking for something that was about that quality.

My only problem is that I would like a resolution of 1600x1200 or higher, and all the monitors I'm finding around 20-22" are 1680x1050 which I'd like to avoid. It looks like I'll have to go to a 24" which would be nice although I wanted to spend around $300-450.

Is there anything, besides some of the cheaper 24"s, in that price point that would give me a higher resolution?
 
That's a bummer, Trinitrons where some really nice monitors. Now if only they would get around to making a 30" 10 gazillion pixel one. :D
The LCD you used was an S-IPS panel, which, if you wanted to stay with the same panel type within that price range would mean getting either:
Dell 2007FP 20" LCD
HP LP2065 20" LCD

Ah, I forgot to include 4:3 20" monitors, that's definitely an option too.

What's the deal with input lag that I hear people complaining about? I can deal with a slower response time or some ghosting during fast motion, but any kind of input lag would really be a killer for me and I want to make sure I get a display that doesn't do that.
