All decent 24" Wide-LCD's have native resolution of 1920x1200 (which, 
with 60Hz refresh rate, has lower pixel clock than 1600x1200@85hz). 
Heck, even all decent 22" Wide-LCD's have native resolution of 1680x1050.

Personally, I'd miss 4:3 -monitor if I was forced out of CRT on my 
desktop. LCD's, especially wide ones, take an incredible amount of 
desk-space with proper resolutions, when 19" CRT can take 1600x1200 easily.

Check the panel type and don't get TN ;).
