At school, we have HP, Dell, and one Samsung for monitors. All of them suffer from viewing angle changes, worse vertically than horizontally. That said, wegeterdone by making sure you are always looking directly eye-level with the center of the screen. By far not the best solution, but it's what we can afford. Our latest monitor is a 23" widescreen HP, however, I have no idea what lights it up. I do know it all that was available for the money we had, AND it HAD to be purchase through the school's contract with HP. All our monitors calibrate very close, close enough for what the students are doing. If someone wants to gift us about $200,000, I'd be happy to re-equip the lab with some good boxes and monitors.Frank On 11/23/2010 12:20 PM, mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Again, it all falls back to display type... it's ips or nothing for me right now.Today at Costco, I saw 21.5" Samsung LED backlighted LCD monitor for$170.

You know, the monitor is something you'll use for several years. Trying to save $10 or $20 here and there, in lieu of something better, is not going to pay that well, IMO.
