Right, I am trying to work out if it is worth getting a new monitor for my pc. I currently have a Hercules Prophetview 920pro which apparently uses a 17" Hydis TN Film (HT17E12). The monitor is perfect in every way (and I don't notice any ghosting in games even though it is a 20ms panel, also I haven't ever been bothered by black levels) the only thing that gets to me is the colour reproduction and the viewing angle. Everything goes black as soon as you move out of the 'optimum' position, and the colour is just annoying.

Viewing angles seem to have improved quite a bit now, but I can't find any information about the colour reproduction of my monitor to compare to the new ones on the market. Has this improved at all?

Also if anyone could see clear to recommending me a monitor in the 19-20" range for around £300 that would help me out. I'm not bothered about watching movies on it because I have a 28" widescreen jvc crt hd tv that I use for that (which looks stunning, but is no use for desktop work because of the interlacing). The HD CRT is really the reason I have decided to look for an upgrade, the colours on it look amazing (obviously I realise that LCDs won't match a CRT but I would like an improvement on what I currently have).
