There is a 20 " monitor for 299 but it has a 28 dot pitch and maximum resolution of 1600x1200x60hz

.28 is way too high for a 20", IMO its even a bit high for a 17".
Go for one with .26 or lower.
Its sorta hard though, since some manufacturers use different ways to measure the dp, we have some hitachi's that are .22's, but in reality, they're just plain old .26's, pissed me off enough to never recomend a hitachi monitor to anyone.
