Thanks for all the input, everyone. I’ve been digging through the reviews for both the Dell UltraSharp U2312HM and the LG IPS236V, and it seems like most people agree with what Fosna mentioned. That said, the feedback suggests the Dell has a much more solid stand that offers better adjustability, so I think I’m going to pull the trigger on the Dell.

Hey everyone,

My Dell 220 ws died on me about a week ago. The issue was that the screen would just go black immediately after turning it on. After running around to a few repair shops, they told me the power supply—likely the inverter—is fried, and it’s beyond saving. To make matters worse, I can't even order a replacement part because the component doesn't have any identifying markings on it.🙄

My PC is about four years old now; I'm running a Core2duo E6750 paired with an Nvidia GF 8800 gts 320 mb. Gaming isn't really my priority, so you don't need to suggest anything high-end for hardcore gaming. Mostly, I focus on web design, so I tend to have a lot of applications open at once while I work, and occasionally I'll throw on an HD movie.

Since I'm based in San Francisco, my options for local stores are somewhat limited, so I'd love some recommendations for a monitor from Los Angeles or HGspot. My budget is roughly $500, though I could stretch it by an extra $67 if it's worth it. Ideally, I'm looking for something with a screen size between 22" and 24". Also, could someone explain the actual difference between LCD and LED?
