Unfortunately, the monitors with the best price/performance ratio are apparently retired. Samsung 1200 NF, NEC-Mitsubishi Diamond Pro... But you can probably still find them around. For instance, check Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB: http://www.pricegrabber.com/search_getprod.php/masterid=605305 Or the Samsung: http://store.compuvest.biz/756000016-10.html I've got 1200 NF and I'm very much satisfied with it. 1600x1200 @ 85Hz, 20" viewable area, USB hub, RGB input... For $385, it's a steal. Just check whether it's refurbished or a brand new one.
