    This is taken from Consumer Reports
    Good choices among 17-inch displays:
    Samsung 740BX $215, CR Best Buy
    Dell 1707FPV $260
    Benq FP72G+S $205, CR Best Buy
    HP L1755 $250

    All four had fine display quality and are worth considering. The Samsung stands out for useful features at a low price. The low-priced Benq has a narrower viewing angle but would be fine for typical use.

    Best 20- and 22-inch displays:
    Dell E207WFP $260, CR Best Buy
    Apple Cinema Display LCD20 $700
    Samsung 205BW $335
    Westinghouse LCM-22w2 $380
    Gateway FPD2275W $400

    All five are wide screens with fine picture quality. This 20-inch Dell costs about the same as some 19-inch LCDs; the Samsung costs more but is height-adjustable. The pricey 20-inch Apple might suit mostly Mac owners who want a matching monitor. The 22-inch Westinghouse and Gateway have dedicated video inputs for TV sources.

    Good choices among 19-inch displays:
    Samsung 940BX $265
    HP L1940 $270
    Dell 1907FP $290
    ViewSonic VX1945wm $280
    Gateway FPD1975W $230
    Acer X191WSD $230
    Benq FP92W $220

    All are fine performers. The ViewSonic, Gateway, Acer, and Benq have wide screens. The ViewSonic has an iPod dock with speakers and a memory card reader.

    • this snippet fails to mention why the apple monitor is raelly pricier - namely, it doesn't use a TN panel and therefore can display all 8 bits of each color,.bigtrick
    • display all 8 bits of each color instead of simulating 8 bits from 6.bigtrick
