My monitor died ([photos](http://flickr.com/photos/nokrev/sets/72157608845260455/)), so I’m now looking to buy a new one.

I have some money at Fry’s, so I’m willing to invest up to about $250 on the largest, nicest monitor y’all can suggest (which they have at the local Fry’s).

For what it’s worth, response time is probably not a big issue — I won’t be doing any gaming on this monitor. It needs to have VGA input, and optionally anything else that’s more modern.
