Needing a new Monitor

    I'm looking a buying an LCD monitor to replace my 17" crt that is killing my eyes.
    I've looked around a few places but haven't made a decision yet. I'd like it to be 20"+ and it would need to be $200 or less. I'd like to do widescreen, but anything else wouldn't be a deal breaker, ie. i don't care about having usb ports or speakers or anything else extra.

    Anyone have any suggestions, either on specific models or brands?

    edit: oh...it'd need to have a good response time of course for gaming and a nice contrast ratio is preferable as well

    BenQ are actually pretty good too, for the price..

    20" BenQ widescreen under $200

    I've got a couple of Samsung's and a BenQ as my main monitor and I've never had a problem with it..

    BenQ and Viewsonic are the two manufacturers I'd go with. Also, as was mentioned, don't forget the DVI cable, sorta hit and miss I would think.
