The answer to this question changes from day to day.     Dell flatscreens have a good reputation.  If you stay away from the very biggest screens (25" for example) you can save a lot of money.\n\nSharkeyExtreme (www.sharkeyextreme.com) recommends 17" LCDs for the most savings (~ $250).  If you want something a little bigger, they suggest the Dell Ultrasharp 2005FPW 20.1" LCD.  I got one of those myself and it's gorgeous.  I checked www.shopper.com and found one for $518.
What is the best LCD monitor 19"-25"?
