Big LCD/TFT monitor

[ohnonotagain]

I spend a lot of hours in front of my computer; I use a lot of applications at once, and I'd like to get a monitor big enough to read two or three pages of text in Word, and have my emails open at the same, without overlapping.

What's a good 21" or 23" monitor to get? I don't mind paying a bit more for picture quality etc. Also, what features should I particularly look for, and will I need any special software or drivers?

Thanks in advance for all help.

Oh no!! Not again!!
