Excuse me, did you say it right - only $600 for a 19" TFT ?????????????????
$600, THAT's ALL ??????

WHOA ! If I were you I wouldn't hesitate (I assume response time is low as well) and buy it.
The viewing area of a 19" TFT compares to a 21" CRT, and for $600 here in germany I'd get only the cheap 17" TFT or the expensive 15" TFTs.

Yeah, TFT's are great, much better pic than CRTs (at least in their fixed resolution). I'm very very happy with mine, too. Anyway, when I bought it in may 2000 I had to pay about $1100 (!). . .

So are you really sure that the 19" TFT only costs $600 ? $1600 would sound more realistic to me, because for $600 I can buy a 21" CRT. . .
