Not sure that this is the right place for this post but I thought I would find the right brains here (or left brains)

I am monitor shopping and have not had to consider monitor features/options for a while in that I have been using the same 17" viewsonic for 5+ yrs.

I could use some advice regarding important features relative to CAD graphics that I should be aware of. As well as some straight-forward recommendations about makes and models (no budget busters please)
