My girlfriend told me since my 17" Sony Trinitron flat-screen CRT monitor bit the dust she'd replace my monitor as a graduation present. She gave me a budget of $300. I've been looking high and low across the Internet- newegg, tiger direct, Amazon.com... as well as at local stores such as Staples, Best Buy, OfficeMax, Wal-Mart, and Office Depot.
We went into Staples this morning and they had an Envision 19" Widescreen LCD flat panel monitor on sale for $229.99. The only other place I've managed to see them is at Amazon.com for $299 (plus shipping) and up!
Stats:
1440x900 Max. resolution
8ms response time
300 cd/m2 brightness
500:1 contrast ratio
anti-glare coating
wall mountable
3 year warranty
Only cons I can think of are that it does not have DVI and you can not adjust the height but the viewing angle. The displays at Staples really were pitiful- none of the monitors received a very strong signal so they all looked terrible IMO. Compared to what I was looking at, this is the only screen in this size with similar stats that I could even touch for the money.
