I will mainly play games, do some image editing, watch movies and the usual web surfing.

Could you order these LCDs from best to poorest? The ViewSonics are around $100 CAN more expensive than the LG, worth it?

Thanks.

Seen a lot of Viewsonics, and I loved their scaling and color reporduction. Still, I hate the built-in speakers of the 2025 (not sure about 2035), waste of money upping cost. I currently have an LG 17", and it's not bad, but looking at Viewsonic and LG monitors of the same generation, Viewsonic wins.

As for the Dell E228, very good deal, but if you want it fast, good luck. Lot of people are getting it, I was seriously considering it, then decided against it since my current one is 'usable' and only 1.5 years old. Also, no reviews are out yet, and it just came out itself, so not sure how good/bad it is. Oh, and after going to the store yesterday, 22" seems like too much 'mon' for me;).

The VS VX2025VM is a great LCD. I agree the speakers arent necessay ( I dont use mine) but I guess they're okay if you dont have independent speakers to use. I cant speak for the other two models. Never tried them.
