Now that I have more time to write, I will follow up on my previous email.
My family got my grandmother an LCD for Christmas and we went with
a 22" TN type for cost reasons. It is quite acceptable for the use it gets
but there is a just noticable gradient in brightness from top to bottom
(brighter at the bottom). This may be annoying to you, especially if you
use it for hours at a time. It doesn't bother me for the short times I use
my grandmothers computer, but if/when I get an LCD for myself, I will
avoid TN panels, which frequently have this issue. Currently, most 22"
LCDs are TNs.
