Ok looking to spend under 300$. Currently have a samsung 955DF 19" CRT. Wife mentioned she would like a new bigger monitor..

Any suggestions?

-ati 1650 radeon-dvi,svid,vga outs

Shopping for CPU and VID cards is easy you look at benchmarks LOL

I moved your post to the general computing forum since I think you'll get better response here.

Can I suggest the Samsung 2232GW? It looks super nice (if you like shiny) and performs great, I have one and its amazing, colors are really eye popping once you calibrate (using Spyder2express).

Only thing its a little above your stated range of budget. Around $330.

I have the samsung 225bw they come in at 260.00 and like it a lot, the only beef I have is it has a very, very slight white line around its boarder but don't really notice it. I also have mine calibrated with a Spyder.
