New Monitor, Do I really need t o spend $500-$1000

The one thing I'd "warn" with LCDs, is screen envy....more to the point, after i got my first 17 inch LCD a few years ago...i badly wanted a second for the 2 monitor set up. still havent done it. but its always a desire.....not as bad as LBA, and starting with a 22, you might be OK

I suffer on my macbook screen, as with all my travel its just the only thing that makes sense. so i envy all screens now

Thanks. However, that's a bit more complex and involved than what I'd be looking for. I don't have a lot of time to play games, so prefer something relatively simple and very straightforward. In other words, something I can quickly install, play for few minutes, and then forget until the next time I have a few minutes free.
