Agreed, RedFlagDeals is the best place to find good deals.

Dell has a sale on right now where they have a different deal each day for 10 days, and they're usually quite good deals.

They haven't shown any LCD's yet so they should come up with a few.

The 1905FP is one of the best 19" LCDs out right now, and if it comes up for sale on this 10 days of deals sale it'll be a great price.

Otherwise, keep to the good brand names, and read reviews for any one you are considering.

The BIGGEST thing I can recommend is to get it from a place that takes exchanges or returns. Memory Express is great but you can't return an LCD there typically, and an LCD is something you have to use for a bit to see if you really like it or not. So I'd recommend getting it from FutureShop or BestBuy or Staples or Costco or something.

Otherwise, if you play games or watch movies look for that 12ms or lower response time. <12ms LCDs usually use 6 bit panels however so you usually sacrifice some in colour fidelity to get the lower response. If you don't game then anything with 16ms to 25ms is usually fine.

And if you want the ultimate: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/ProductDet...uctlisting.aspx
