I got my first LCD monitor about a month ago and it is awesome. I am the one who started this thread and had all the questions that you did.

I shopped a lot and looked at a lot of crappy monitors that were "highly rated." Most of them had issues that I was not willing to deal with.

I ended up with this one. PC world magazine rated the LG Electronics Flatron L1710SK #1 in Nov. I got it for $299 from T*ger D*rect. It is much better than some $500 monitors that I looked at.

Good luck with it.
