    Are you OK with the resolutions ?
    You can get much higher resolutions than this on a 19".

    I would stick with reputable brands such as Samsung, Dell or NEC.

    I have the 941BW and am pretty happy with it, especially for the price. I will say this much, though, and that's the resolution is not the best. 1440x900 means less actual screen estate, despite a larger screen. If I had the budget I'd get a 22" with a 1680x1050 res.

    I currently have an Acer, had to send it on for repair couple months ago. But acer tech was cool told her all the testing I did, so she skipped all the dumb tech questions and had me send in for repair. Have not had a problem since. Heres link to it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009094

    Oh and the turn around from me shipping to them and back was about a week.

    I'd go with a Dell, I use a 20" wide Dell and I like it alot. They're a good brand of monitors too.
