Very few things I am ever Brand Specific about. But with regards to Monitors I ALWAYS buy Viewsonic. In the 10 years or so I've been using Viewsonic Monitors, I've never had a problem. In fact my dad is still using the 10 year old 15" CRT as his 2nd monitor back home.
I have a pair of 19" Viewsonics. Have you thought about possibly going for 2 17's or 2 19's rather than just a single 21?

A 22" Westinghouse LCD monitor just came on sale at Best Buy for $170 ($100 off, not a rebate). I've never heard of a Westinghouse monitor, I assume it's rebranded but not sure who actually makes it:

(Tried to use the URL thing to make a pretty linky, but it keeps messing up. Never had that happen...)

Originally posted by jorge: This is also available though Costco I forgot that Costco is now carrying Dell. However, for $25 difference (actually more since Costco also charges for shipping) I'd still buy it from Dell. I've never had an LCD monitor die outside of the initial 30 days. 05_X - Westinghouse makes some pretty good stuff too. They seem to have a good rep. I don't own any of their stuff, but I have friends that do and they are happy with them.

If Costco has it in stock there's no shipping charge, and you can pick up a case of good beer, some steaks, and a 25 lb bag of rice while you're there. Plus you have the Costco return policy, which is worth more than $25 imo.

I have both this LG and this Viewsonic at work. The Viewsonic has a bit of font bluring that can get very annoying while staring at the screen for more than 1 hr. The LG doesn't, probably because of the slightly faster response time. The LG is also brighter. I have an older 19" Gateway at home that looks just as good as the LG. I want to get a 24" widescreen, & saw the Westinghouse on sale a Best Buy, but I has a horible font blure. The LG & Samsung 24" looks great & come with a 3 year warranty, vs the 1 year that most other have. I am waiting for these to drop to the $300-350 before switching.
