Web development monitor setup?

    I'm looking at updating my setup and I was wondering what everyone else is running for web development.

    I currently run a dual monitor setup with my main screen on the right, a 22" HP widescreen and my second screen on the left, a 17" Phillips CRT. I use the HP LCD for coding and I preview the results on the letterbox CRT screen to the left.

    I've always designed sites with the assumption that the average person views a site maximised to a square screen (versus a widescreen). In fact I find it far easier to push my browser window onto the square screen and maximise it, rather than spending time resizing it on the widescreen.

    The CRT needs replacing as it's old and it's starting to flicker and the focus is a bit off, but I'm in two minds about what to replace it with. The letterbox style LCD's seem expensive for what they are, there are a few budget versions, but I'd rather have a decent quality screen. I could just get another widescreen monitor, but I'm not sure if this is the way to go if I'm using it soley for previewing web pages.
