I always lag behind in the monitor department.  Only had a 17" CRT for about 
two years now.  I might get a 19" LCD in December, if things go well.  If 
they're not going well, I won't.

I usually game at 800x600, even on my 17". ;)

I consider it an upgrade, as I used to game on a 486 at 640x480, and later at 
the same resolution on a 14" on a Matrox G400.

Probably best I don't know how good visual quality is on a 19" flat panel and 
a 7xxx series NVidia card.  I'm sure I could never go back.
