    Im looking to buy a LED Monitor for my notebook soon. I already have a 40" Samsung series 6 that shows great but i decided that i want another monitor too. The reason why, is sometimes im gaming and watching TV or my bro is playing on the TV so i want something else i can fall back on in case i need another tv/screen.

    Ideally I want one that has built in speakers, HDMI port, and possible a component port(I could hook up my Wii.) I REALLY like both the LG W2486L and the Samsung XL2370. They are by far the most appealing right now, but there isnt much info on either right now on availability or pricing.

    So anyone have any suggestions? I appreciate it alot guys.

    any specs you want? eg screen size, TN vs IPS panel, which notebook you are hooking up...

    (i'm almost certain the a TV speakers at 22" won't do better than a laptop's speakers)

    It appears that a few of Dell's Ultrasharp lines are being cleared out, namely the 2408, perhaps they're going to introduce a refreshed version soon, with LED backlighting?
