This (http://www.pagecomputers.com/store/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Monitors+%26+Television s&category%5Fname=15g15c114s2328&product%5Fid=973285)

or
this (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1910938&sku=V18-2052)

basically 19" lcd for 260~ shipped, or 20" widescreen for 300~ shipped

plus they're good deals, esp the 20". toms liked it (http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/06/27/xxl_displays/page14.html)

let me know which you would get and why! also, the 19" can be had for 255 at clubit.com usually, they're out of stock atm, but not permanent i'm sure

keep in mind my specs (x800GTO2. i get ~6800 on 3dmark05, so i will prolly not be able to game with oblivion at 1680X1050)

I've ordered THIS (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1901416&Tab=2&NoMapp=0) one and expect it this week has little better response time and a little less view angle than the Viewsonic. I decided I didnt feel like messing around with oddball 16:9 ratios.

woo! that is one helluva a deal! i just might have to get that one! samsung makes great monitors, and that one will give even more pixels to work with! (i too would like to stick with the 4:3, so thanks for the tip!)

$213 shipped 2nd day.

I have one at work and like it. 8 out of 10. Only as it has a cheap base and you have to crank up the brighness to get a proper looking display.
