[kh1116]

im currently using a 14 inch crt monitor, this thing is frickin huge and takes up a ton of deskspace. just got my paycheck yesterday, so im looking for an lcd monitor, preferably widescreen and under $200, that someone can recommend me that has no big problems in ubuntu. Anyone suggestions?

Spend the extra money and get the Samsung SyncMaster 226bw. Gorgeous screen. Liked it so much I bought one for my wife. I paid about $350. I'm sure they are much cheaper now.

I would recommend Dell LCD Monitors.

I have a syncmaster 204B which has been a great screen for me. 20", they roughly go for $220 now.

so seems like samsung is the way to go then? i would get dell but im pretty sure u have to order those right? do u guys think it would be cheaper going to a store like bestbuy or office max instead of online and paying for shipping?

Yes. Unless you find the dealer who ships them in in bulk and sells. Few friends told me such dealers exist but I dont believe it.
I am looking for a new LCD too but I will still stick with Dell despite their extra charge for shipping since there is no competition at least no where I live i.e. the competing products are not good enough.

Personally I would stay away from Dell's latest line of monitors. A few of them have had bad input lag in addition to the response time.

I say go with an LG. I have had 2 LG monitors so far, and never had any dead/bright pixels. They are reasobably priced as well =]

Idem dito.

I have been using a DELL 19 inch TFT screen for 4 years or so and it's still like new.

i recommend the new lg flatron monitors form newegg. 22 inch 2ms 10,000:1 contrast ratio extremely nice. I currently have one of the older ones and one of the newer ones running and i love them.
