I went to the PC show today, and bought a new ASUS VW192T model LCD monitor.
There were a couple of other brands available, Samsung, LG, Acer, DELL, Phillips, Hanns,...
The Samsung 931C, cool, but no more stock when I got there, LG's 19" L196WT, not bad too, wide screen, 2ms response time. Acer and Dell were the cheapest deals with the 20" LCDs, less than $300. Nowadays, people are not just looking at the price, but also the looks, response time, the LCD panel types, .e.g A, S or C, The 'S' type panels being the best, I heard.
Finally, I got the ASUS LCD, the promoter claimed it's a type "A' LCD panel, the price just alright. Not bad, I set it up, works fine, not for gaming though, but ok. It's wide screen, so have to try getting used to it.
