[fedora] LCD monitor recomendation

[Peter Loron]

I've got a Hitachi CML175SXW, and it's great.

The things to look for in an LCD monitor are the contrast (you want at 
least 400:1) and the brightness (250cd is the min, for me anyway..300 is 
better). Refresh time is important if you are going to be playing 
"twich" games or watching video. Try for < 20ms.

If your video card has DVI output, I'd highly recommend getting an LCD 
that supports it...better image.
