The tech reviewers at FiringSquad [http://www.firingsquad.com/ ] have put together quite the comprehensive list of LCD displays that won’t crack your budget or cramp your computing style. It’s pretty thorough, including quite a bit of interesting preface information about LCDs in general, the way they work, improvements that have been made over the years, and pretty much everything you could ever possibly want to know about how to really gauge an LCD’s quality and value. They guide you through comparing color temperatures and contrast ratios, and give you a peek into the history of the LCD and the improvements that have been made since their introduction almost 10 years ago.
If all that’s too much for you, then don’t worry-just skip ahead to the monitors they tested; some good names are in there, Samsung, Dell, Viewsonic, Sony; and the pros and cons of each are outlined in excellent detail. The reviews and results of the tests might surprise you!
