I'm in the market for a new monitor and am looking to go the LCD route. Right now I have a crappy old 17" CRT.

I want a monitor with decent quality but I don't want to spend a lot of money. I'm either looking for a <$300 17" model or a <$400 19" model (before taxes, shipping etc).

What are the best quality bargain brands? What are the best places to buy from, online and in store? What are your experiences with LCD monitors? Any helpful hints or "buyer bewares"? Is a monitor something that the price can be "dickered" like a car?

Any input is appreciated.
