I bought a Samsung Syncmaster 191T a few weeks ago and it's the best monitor I've ever owned (I currently own 4) - by a long shot. Can't recommend highly enough.
I've got two Planar 19" lcd's and they are fantastic. Top of the line specs in contrast ratio and brightness, which I think are the two most important to consider. Brighter and much easier on the eyes than the Dell trinitron crt's I also use. I have the CT1904. I would have prefered a monitor from the PL line because of the thinner bezels, but there are a lot of new CT's on ebay right now at very good prices. http://www.planar.com/monitors/CT1904Z.asp
Can anyone post any reviews on 20 inch monitors with at least 1600x1200 res? I much prefer 2 of these over 3-19 inch monitors. Saves neck strain.
I have 5 17inch TFTs. My ranking would be as follow 1)Samsung Syncmaster 171P Samsung Syncmaster 171P 3)HP L1720 4)Natcomp 17inch 5)Ilyama 17inch (NOT recommended - very bad image quality) Oliver

i use 2 dell 1900FP and one dell 1500FP, and have been happy with them. check out the dell web site, if you wait, they usually take a couple of hundred off the larger FPs, every month for a few days as a special. just make sure you have enough RAM for the video apps. i'd say at least 512K for 2 to 3 monitors.
I have (6) of the DELL 1900FP's. I paid $724 each on sale. These monitors are actually the Samsung 191T, the "ONLY" difference is that the DELL does not rotate into "PORTRAIT" mode. Samsung registration, literature, etc... DELL offers a 30 day, No questions asked warranty, very important when dealing with LCD pixel problems. I would not buy from anyone unless they had a no questions asked return policy on bad PIXELS. I previously had Sony Trinitron CRT, very nice but HARD on my eyes, these are WAY better on the eyes. Good Luck.
