Best Office Monitor - HP? Westy? Soyo?

[afuturestrader]

Hi,

Currently am setting up a new computer system for my home office and replacing 2 CRT's (GS790). Being new to LCD's I thought I would ask for you opinion.

After some research - taking into account my price - I have 3 top candidates

1) HP LP2065
2) Westinghouse L2410NM
3) Soyo 24DYLM24D6

I would use two of a 24 inch monitors. I would start with two 20 inchers but might add a third. This could make the HP the most expensive option but would allow for portrait mode - two LP2065's in portrait mode are very close to the resolution of a 30 inch monitor.

My use is mostly office - web browsing, email, IM, and word docs with some financial trading software displaying charts (these charts have small movements). I might also try to hook up a cable dvr box to watch a baseball game while in the office on occasion.

I have not played games in some time.

Which monitor would you suggest in this price range (under $400) for my use?

Thanks in advance

Check out the Acer 24" X243W at Office Depot. It is on sale for $279 this week. Might be some coupon codes floating around as well. The Soyo is great buy as well, but too many reports of problems and only a one-year warranty. If you need more TV like inputs, then I highly recommend the Westy. It is on sale this week at Best Buy for $349, might also be able to apply a coupon, but mileage at BB varies.
