I'm looking to finally replace my CRTs to free up some desk space, and maybe cut the power bill a little. Plus make it easier to move. 24" is a minimum I think because I always use crazy high screen resolutions.

Requirements:
[*]Must be able to pivot for use in both landscape & portrait mode (another reason for getting an LCD -- I've gotten addicted to portrait mode at work. 1920 rows is great for looking at code.)
[*]support at least 1920x1200
[*]Dual inputs - 1DVI + 1VGA minimum, 2DVI + 1VGA preferred. (HDMI support also a plus) Could possibly have 2 different models as long as at least 1 has the dual inputs (they don't both need it).
[*]USB hub would be nice, but not required

Any recommendations? Preferably under $350 each.

The Dell 2408wfp meets all of your requirements, except it's quite a bit more than $350.

It sounds like he doesn't really need image quality, and if thats the case the dell is probably kinda overkill. Any TN panel oughtta probably do, they're all the same imo.

That is true, they are all the same, in that they all roughly cost the same, and have the same limitations, namely the stand.

OP, you may also want to look into 1080p monitors. 1920*1080 instead of 1920*1200, but they tend to run a little cheaper.
