3D World just did a roundup of TFT/LCD monitors and Dell came out best in show - only slightly more than the Viewsonic (if my fuzzy memories serves me right as far as brand - it was either that or the NEC one) in that the Dell had more inputs. Otherwise they would have given it to the Viewsonic because of a slightly better picture quality.

With every manufacturer, someone gets a dud product and the shaft customer service. I've only heard good stories about Dell, and some of my family and many friends have them and love them. One had a problem with the keyboard and 2 days later after a phone call a new one arrived in the mail.
