I plan on purchasing a new 19 inch LCD monitor with a budget of around $350.
any help would be apreciated.
Thanks,

I totally agree with Mariok2006, definately check out the Hyundai ImageQuest L90D+ 19in LCD. It seems to be a favorite on the boards, and sells for about $350 shipped.
 
My advice is to read the many comments in the AT forums re: LCD's. People all have their favorites and will usually be biased to the LCD they bought. Take comments and especially the mfg. specs, with a grain of salt. Often I will read a comment from someone saying how great their LCD is, then at the end, mention that it has backlight bleed in one corner and a few bad pixels. Take your time, do a lot of research, be a little skeptical and you should end up with somthing you will be happy with. Also, consider LCD's other than the most popular ones you read about in forums. Good luck!

Forgot to mention: download TFTtest and put it on a floppy or CD. Take it to the store, if you buy from BM and run the patterns 2, 3, 5 on the top row. Compare how the patterns look on different LCD's.
 
The L90D should be better for gaming, compared to the Dell.

Or wait for a sale and you might bag a 2005FPW for ~$380 by using highly convoluted 5 step voodoo coupon stacking. If it works, it would be a freaking steal, tho. The 2005 absolutely owns.
