    Hi, after waiting some time to save enough money, I'm finally considering buying an lcd monitor to connect to my laptop to get dual monitors. I have been looking at the Samsung 906BW 19 inch monitor for a while and it looks okay for my uses.

    My question is is it a good lcd monitor(for web browsing + playing movies). If there are any other recommendations for an lcd monitor(preferably with a glossy screen), I'm all ears! Just one thing though, my laptop is a Toshiba M115-S3144, 14 inch lcd with an intel 950 graphics card with 2gb ram; since I want aero to run when I connect the monitor to my laptop, I would like it if the size or the resolution of the recommended lcd monitors will not turn off aero on vista(ie not go over the graphics card abilities). Oh and also if anyone can tell me the max resolutions my graphics card can support(when both the laptop monitor and the lcd monitor are used for vista aero) for the lcd monitor sizes of 19, 20, 21, and 22, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks in advance!!!
