On the basis of some searching on our corporate vendor's site, I don't 
think you're going to find an LCD monitor smaller than 20" that does 
1600x1200.

The good news is, 20" 1600x1200 LCD monitors can now be had for as 
[relatively] little as $550-$600.  The last time I bought a 20" monitor, 
I paid twice that for a CRT.  Gateway currently has a $250 instant 
rebate on their normally-about-$850 20" LCD, or you could take a look at 
the Planar PL2010M.  I seem to recall the Official 20" LCD Monitor Of 
Bitmines is a Dell model, but I don't remember which one.
