Envision Professional Series G2016wa2 20" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 1000:1, 5ms, 1680x1050, HDCP Supported DVI-D - Black - G2016WA2
A buddy’s monitor died last week. He called for some troubleshooting ideas and after I had him connect it to his laptop and still no picture he decided a 5 year old monitor was due for replacement. I found this one at buy.com and recommended it to him. The three year warranty is pretty standard these days but I still like to insure it is included. It is. He did not pay for expedited shipping and got it next day anyway. He hooked it up and so far he loves it. He loves it even more now that the $30 rebate he got last week is off in June. Regardless, the price is pretty darn good for a nice monitor. However since the rebate disappeared you may also want to look at the BenQ G2000W 20.1" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 1680 x 1050, 1000:1, 5ms, DVI for $194.00 with free shipping. It too has a 36 month warranty but it does not have built in speakers. Both of the monitors seem to their lowest price at buy.com.
