Nothing wrong with cheap. However, the monitor is a very important part of your computing experience, whether that be gaming, surfing, photo editing, etc. A bad monitor can make working on the computer a chore.

This MitsuDP930 is one of the best 19" monitors ever made.

Sure, it's refurb, but it's refurbed by NEC-Mitsu, so I'd imagine quality control would be pretty good. It's got a 1 yr warranty, as well as a options to extend that.

With shipping, it's over your $200 mark, but there's a $20 instant coupon that should bring it down around $205ish for you.

The samsung is above my budget with shipping and i'm not looking for a lcd flatscreen right now. The specs on the CTX seem to be pretty good but i'm not sure about the company. Does anyone have any experience with CTX?

Did you even look for that monitor on your own? I was merely using NewEgg to reference the monitor.

You can pick it up almost every other week for $180 from a Best Buy B&M.

I was going to suggest a Viewsonic G90f - $209 but I see it?s above your budget too. The CTX has exactly the same spec?s at 12x10 vert/horz-refresh rate -- so it likely has the same tube as the Viewsonic. The Viewsonics have the ARAG screen treatment and are the only monitors I?ve seen to advertise that screen treatment, ..well up until seeing the CTX, which has it too.

I have a 17? Viewsonic flat and the display quality is excellent. I don?t think you will do better than that CTX for the price. Has a good refresh rate of 90hz at 12x10.
