It's so hard to pick a monitor without seeing the display first hand.
I went the cheap way when I got mine (Magview 19") I REGRET it now! my eyes are constantly hurting, the text is not as sharp as I would like. I'm running it at 1024x768 @85Hz.
so now I'm in the market for a GOOD monitor. I will do in store viewing and comparisons..... do not go cheap in this part of your computer..............
My 2 cents worth
