    Get a dell or samsung. But really i would get a 22" as they are not much more than a 20".

    One of the best 20" from dell is the Ultrasharp 2007wfp, but I'm not sure if they sell that. The successor, the 2009w uses an inferior panel, but costs much less.

    Samsung, Dell or HP. Agree w/nizzy -go either 19" or 22" - seems a lot of good choices fall in that area. I have the newest HP 22" that is great and it can be had for $250 at Tiger Direct right now. Great deal. I have a Samsung 19" LCD (953bw) that I use with my FZ and it was very nice for $200.

    19" widescreens appear quite tiny (akin to old 15" CRT's). Grab a 22" if you can, preferably a Dell with plenty of inputs on the back (more useful than you initially imagine!).

    The other idea of buying a monitor with plenty of inputs (VGA, DVI, Component, S-Video etc) is that the driving electronics will more than likely be of the absolute best quality, so it therefore follows that you will get excellent results from whatever panel is used in the display.
