Okay so Im a gamer on a low budget. Very low indeed after buying a 4850.

I currently have 2 options for a monitor:

A sony LCD running at 1280x1024 or an IBM flat panel CRT running at 1600x1200 at 75Mhz.

Which one shouldI get?

Somes games (especially old one) are not widescreen and/or are locked to a low resolution like 800*600 or 1024*800. On a lcd monitor taking a resolution lower than the native one will make the game look worse, while on a crt you can change the resolution without any problem.
