    So today i bought a nice LG W1952 +WXGA from circuit city on sale for about $185. It was an impulse buy and I havent opened the package yet as I am still contemplating the return.

    Can you guys recommend and monitors around the $200 range.

    I would prefer ones which built in speakers, which the LG doesnt have and an HDMI input or DVI :)

    For $200 I dont think you can get much of a better deal. I got a Dell E248WFP for about $320, and it was a really good deal on a 24" screen. It doesnt have hdmi or speakers, but its a reeally good bang for the buck screen.

    Try searching newegg for Samsung or Dell monitors. They are usually regarded as the best screen manufacturers, and they usually have competitive prices.
