Well, it Christmas time, and I need something to ask for...

I would say $350 is absolute max, but cheaper options are great as well, in case my parents won't spend that much.

Right now I use 2 old CRT monitors, a 17' and a 14'. I use the 14' one for msn and things like instructions and helpfiles that I need to be able to reference to, and the 17' one for everything else. I find this really helpful.

My first problem is 1 or 2 screens:

1 Screen
Assuming they will go towards the $350 end I could probably get 1 nice 22' or maybe a bad 24'. If they decided that $350 is too much, maybe just a decent 22'.
My thoughts on this option
It would be nice having a monster screen. This would cause me to loose the handy 2 screens, but playing games on something so big could make up for it.
I could always buy a cheaper 19' or so later on.

2 Screens
If they lean towards the $350 mark, then maybe I could get 2 decent 19' monitors, or maybe a good 19' one and a cheaper 17' one. If they go to the cheaper end, well it probably wont be worth it, and I would jut get 1 Larger better screen.
My thoughts on this option
Two, screens is defiantly handy, and the biggest thing I have ever used in a 17', so maybe 19' is big enough. Probably won't be able to make this work with a cheaper budget.

So, now is where YOU come in :P . Recommend me some monitors for all these options. I will assume my parents won't spend more than $350, so don't go higher than that, but even that might be too high, so some less expensive options are appreciated. If they are at Futureshop / BestBuy / Tiger Direct that is a bonous, because they could go to the store to purchase them, instead of ordering online.

Thanks
