Buying an LCD monitor for the first time... and my budget is pretty tight—around $800-$300..
Anyone know of a "decent" 21.5" or 22" monitor..

I stumbled upon these two Samsung models... they're Full HD (not that big of a deal to me though)... what do you guys think!
How much do they suck or actually rule??

I heard this one was highly recommended by Apple... but I'm not sure if it's actually HD!!

Better save up another 300 bucks--$133 than you go scooping whatever sludge is sitting at the bottom of a barrel.

Check $300 out this

If you can manage to grab a larger quantity, maybe look at something like this .

I’m really not being picky here... I honestly don't know how much of a difference I'll actually notice between $100 higher-end monitors..

That $930 one looks good to me.. if there's actually a visible jump from the $280 one.. I'm in..

Look, they’re all basically the same thing—honestly, they're pretty much interchangeable. The only real difference is that Microsoft's glossy finish (you know, like those laptop screens) acts like a mirror for whatever lights are on in your room. If you're working in total darkness, though, it'll be fine.

That one has dual inputs, which gives it an edge.
