Digital BW, The Print

In that price range you could buy TWO good flat-screen 19" glass
monitors or two 17" flat panel displays. 17" flat panels offer 1280 x
1024 pixels, which is the same resolution you'd probably use on a 19"
CRT. Based on actual experience, I much prefer two displays this size
over one larger one. 

If I were buying new monitors today, I'd probably choose 17" flat
panels, but I don't know which ones. If you go with glass, I like the
Samsung SyncMaster 900NF (I have three), about $350. These have all the
controls you want for critical color (or b&w) work, including
independent gain controls for all three color channels, important for
accurate calibration.

The ColorVision Spyder is a good (and cost effective) choice for
calibration and profiling, which is a must.
