That's a nice oxymoron... |
 They're not too bad for a basic user's needs.

With a higher budget, I'll consider one of these:
Samsung SyncMaster 204B 20.0' 5ms 1600x1200 resolution
Samsung SyncMaster 214T 21.3' 8ms 1600x1200 resolution |
while it's true that the "glass" (LCD panel) comes from one of a 1/2 dozen manufacters there are many differences in the design, components, and quality between brands, even within a name brand different lines represent different goals/purposes for a given LCD monitor.
worse, because industry standards do not specify how response times are measured those specs can be deceiving (or downright lies)
My suggestions are (minimum)
3 year cross ship replacement (and not to some strange country to be "evaluated" for repair or replace at their option, when they feel like it, if they are still in that business)
15-30 day "no questions asked refund" (100%!!!) if not satisfied (this is an advantage of shopping locally with a decent merchant (even a national big box chain) with the rep and stock to replace it NOW)
a reasonable price (the above does cost something, but avoids being totally screwed)be willing to pay a few dollars more for a better choice
best is a brand/model YOU can see /try yourself (realizing stores max out the brightness/contrast and change samples ASAP if noticably defective) it may look different at home/in the office.
but if you can afford to replace it, sometimes it is worth the risk to deal with a known online source. |

I like!!!! wish I could have pulled the trigger on the 2407, but I've got plans so I ended up getting the 2007 recently (two days ago) and love it as well. There is no substitute for screen resolution!!!!
