the time has come for me to upgrade my computer a bit.

new memory is already on its way to get me to 2GB of RAM.

but my Iiyama 450 monitor is finally biting the big one. it's starting to streak etc and one of the guns is occasionally off. not good when trying to colour correct.

I'm wanting to go to a TF LCD that can do 1600x1200 res and is 19 or 21 in size.

I hear Eizo and samsung getting bandied about as good makes. (BTW, I have a spyder so I can calibrate the screen properly.)

anyone care to leap in with suggestions.

models I am considering

samsung 213T
samsung 204b
eizo L985EX

now I'd rather have a 4:3 screen so I can get 1600x1200 rather than 1600x1050 wihch widescreens tend to do.my father has a widescreen 21" mac flat panel which is nice too.

any other models I should look at?

second.

I am running an Nvidia fx5600 with 256mb but its getting a bit long in the tooth for some of the newer games. what should I be considering here? prefereably something with two monitor outs.
