I have a Samsung SyncMaster 550s probably 7 or 8 years old by now....I bought it used for 50 bucks. It still performs like it's brand new, so I can't really complain. When i buy a new one, it WILL be a Samsung.

NEC all the way. The FE series is excellent, goes from 15" to 22" and will last for freakin' ever.

Really sharp display, great color rendering, and an all around great monitor.
