Default Need New Monitor
Okay I am in need of a new monitor because this one has gone all fuzzy. Yes I know the Samsung 226bw is a great monitor but is in the $300 range. Are there any good cheaper alternatives that are at least 19inch?

The ViewSonic Optiquest Q20WB works great for me. The contrast is great on this monitor, FEAR looks better then it did on my old CRT, with nice black shadows. I haven't seen any ghosting either.

Depending on your budget theres Sceptre 22's for like 190 or less. Lower end theres Hanns-g for extreme budget.

i got my Acer 22" on sale for $190 at Best Buy a couple weeks ago. their sale is over, but you might keep an eye out. it isn't as good as the Samsung of course, but i was pleasantly surprised by how well it works. good contrast, minimal backlighting, minimal tearing in-game, and no ghosting.
