There are many post on that subject man....just look around and read..but i would recommend Samsung or KDS if u really cutting short on cash. Im using a Samsung SyncMaster 750s 17" and for the money ive paid it is a really really good monitor. KDS appearently makes their products with sony's flat trinitron tubes, and the tube its all that matters, right?
Anyhow if u dont like those 2 go with Viewsonic or sony. The last one is at the top of the pricing list though 😉
