I normally like playing old RPGs & strategy games (Baldur's Gate I & II, Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor, Chaos Gate, etc.) on my old 17" CRT. Unfortunately, I think it's on its last legs.
So, it's probably time to get something new. Obviously, CRT monitors are no longer in production, and used ones are so old they probably don't have too much useful life left in them, so I'm thinking of replacing it with a modern 5:4 aspect ratio LCD (5:4 since a lot of older games don't natively support widescreen resolutions).
Since this is for RPGs and such, I'm more concerned about inky black levels and accurate colors than lightning-fast response times. So, I'm thinking I should be looking for something with an IPS panel?
My thought was to get something like this:

Any thoughts/suggestions?
