We have been very pleased with our 19" LCD flat panel Samsung monitor (about 2 years old). The only problem I've had is the ergonomics of where it's at and I'm sitting, which is the same place the previous 17" tube monitor was at, but back further since it's not as deep. I had a lot of neck/shoulders problems until I realized that I needed to raise the height of my chair with the new monitor (I'm pushing 5'1").

Westinghouse makes some awesome monitors for little $$ - check best buy. I think the 21" is 529.
