First-buy 19" LCD monitor

Hey folks,

I'm in the market for a 19" LCD monitor, with DVI. I've been reading here, and on tons of other forums and tests and I really don't know what to pick anymore. Every monitor has problems, I know, but I seem to pick all the ones with the bad ones 😉

The general usage workload would be:
- Surfing/email/office usage/irc
- Gaming - often, but not daily

I'm not really planning on watching movies on that, I've got my TV for that 🙂

The last screen I've been looking at is the Samsung 940BF, but it seems that one isn't too suited for this usage.

What would you people recommend? I've got a budget about 550$ (450e).

Thanks!
