any recommendations? (graphics/design)

Hi

I'm looking for a new TFT and I'm wondering if anyone could give me any suggestions?

I work as a web designer and have also do a bit of freelance print work. This being the case I'd like something with a good degree of colour accuracy and also something with quite a decent resolution (I'm thinking of a 20" screen). I mostly only play games on my consoles and I don't use my PC for DVDs, so I'm not to bothered about something that's super-fast, though at the same time I'd like something that won't ghost like crazy if I do ever boot up a PC game!

Price-wise, I'm willing to go up to around £500, but can't afford to go much higher.

I'd been thinking about the Lacie 120, though I've only been able to find one review online and not a great deal of other info. Anyone know anything about this screen? And of course would anyone recommend anything else?

Any help much appreciated!

thanks for the tips everyone, I'll look into the screens mentioned. Most of the work I do doesn't require 100% perfect colour accuracy (especially web work where I know most people will be viewing it on some cheap 15" screen in their office!), I just need something that's not very far off! Therefore I'm hoping I'll be okay without starting to get into the really expensive screens! I'm still trying to decide if I'd be better just getting a larger CRT. Even if I do get a TFT, I'll be keeping my old CRT to double check things anyway!

Maddad, my pc specs aren't amazing: P4 2.4, 2GB PC3200 RAM, some crappy gfx card (9800se I think), 250GB SATA HDD, plus a couple of 80GB IDE drives which will be getting replaced shortly (I particularly want another SATA drive to use for scratch disks in photoshop). I really need to improve a few things, but I moved house last year and it all cost quite a bit, so computer equipment is just starting to become viable again
