CRT Lover, now looking at LCD’s. Help me!

Ok, I’ve been looking to get a new LCD [COLOR=#000000]monitor since places no longer sell crt’s (online maybe). So now I’m asking for my fellow 3d/2d artists out there. What’s the best? I saw the Gateway 24inch with 1000:1 contrast… it’s ok, the matte screen is ok, I’m noticing that screens with gloss help fake better contrast for the screens without it with the same contrast ratio.

Anyone use a Samsung 24inch with the Dynamic calibrated 3000:1 contrast - 1000:1 contrast normal?

I’m looking for replies from people who really wanted the rich color/blacker blacks and got it from an LCD.

I’m looking for a 22 - 24" range.

Thanks,
