I think my mom's monitor is about to die, as it randomly changes colors now and then. A white screen will take on a purple tint, then green, then white, then off-white, ec.
I've been looking on newegg for a new monitor, and I'm wondering if maybe I should give her my monitor (ViewSonic E70 - LOVE it), and get the new one for myself. I was originally thinking flat screen CRT:

But then, I thought about some LCDs, and thought maybe I could get one of them.

HP L1506 Black 15"

I know they're not the speedy-est monitors, but I don't do much gaming. However, I do watch my DVDs on my PC. Is 25ms too slow for watching movies? If so, how about 16ms? I've never owned an LCD display (unless you count my Pocket PC).
I suppose I don't really /need/ the LCD, but it would be nice.
Thoughts/comments/suggestions? Thanks...
Or even better yet, any suggestions on a different monitor that's better than the three listed above? If it's CRT, I want flat screen if possible.
Thanks again!
