19" LCD screen from Aldi, with DVI connector. Hope it'll be OK.

Boring story of buying it )

Installed the monitor now; looks good. 1280×1024@60 Hz (which I had configured prior to disconnecting) looks bad on the CRT though! But decent on the LCD.

TV doesn't look so good on the LCD, though—during fast movements, the picture is rather blurry. But I think that's a general problem that LCDs have.

I find the list of disclaimers users are asked to select on this download page to be rather amusing.

On the other hand, how am I supposed to truthfully check the box labelled "I will not download or otherwise export or re-export the Programs, directly or indirectly, to persons on the above mentioned lists." if I do not know the contents of those lists? For all I know, my co-worker might be a Specially Designated Narcotic Trafficker and is just hiding extremely well.
