Buying a Monitor Need feedback!!!!
jrd:
ScoobyDoo: CAS! looks okay to me. Mind that I have my desktop also on 1680:1050 as it is the native resolution, and have configured my videocard to do the scaling (not that it applies here, but in general software scaling is better than hardware scaling [done by the monitor itself]).

But the trouble I've had with it is the viewing angle. The colors change color slightly as you change your viewing angle. In something with textures of different colors, you don't notice it so much, but if you have a solid color on the desktop, the edges are slightly different colors. It doesn't bother me in games, but I when I'm doing other stuff, or writing, it drives me crazy.
This sounds like a monitor specific flaw. Really Old LCDs had a built in privacy feature: You saw basically nothing if your viewing angle was much off center. Newer LCDs break this "feature" through the use of a screen coating, which is what produces the effect.

Also it's very weird getting used to the brightness of the whites on it. On my CRT, white was actually sort of blue-ish. I had to change my desktop colors, because staring at a bright white background like in applications started to hurt my eyes.
This again sounds like an instance specific problem. CRTs have better color than LCDs in general, and most certainly do not have "blueish" white unless you have the color temp set too high, or the monitor is dying and thus may have a failing tube, like yours.

I just purchased the LG one. PLEASE TELL ME I made a good decision lol.

I bought this same monitor about 2 months ago when my old CRT finally bit it and I love it. I've had no problems with my older dinosaur programs, they either get scaled, or they simply take up their little portion of the screen real estate.

Now i need to upgrade my PSU. UGH I have no idea what to choose. I wish there was a magic upgrade button that would make the best decision for me.
