Samsung 19". Cheap and kick ass contrast ratio.. That's what you want to watch out for. These are 1000:1 contrast ratio. If you look for another one watch out for that number.. Most are 500:1 and your blacks will look like shit.

I do all our video editing on them with no problem.

Ultra important i'm told is to use a video card that has digital out. These monitors and digi and analog inputs so you can get a good card that has digital and analog outputs and run dual monitors. My left monitor is digital and the right is analog but I can't see a difference in quality.

And even more important! Make sure your vid card will run what the monitor says is its Native Resolution.

I run them at their native resolution 1280x1024 so with two you have some serious room to work with.

When I try other resolutions that are not the Native they look like hell.

Don't go LCD if you do detailed Photoshop work.

Good luck
