Are there any recommended brands of monitors I should look into? Looking to order one today as I have just blown my main and now using a backup. Any info would be appreciated. :D

Personally went with the Iiyama Vision Master Pro 514.  Your eyes will thank you (plus,  AH looks great at 1600x1200).

Check out the Samsung 213T.  It's an awesome 21" monitor, and it's priced around $1100.  I almost bought one recently, then my car busted.  Soon...

I have one in my office, and it's great.

I bought a Samsung 955DF 19inch CRT a few years ago. It was less than $400 at the time after rebates. I'd bet its less now with out having to mess with any rebate bs. Games have always looked real good on it.

Lookin for around 22 Inch monitor. I run 200 and sometimes even 500 FR, need something to take the beating. Vsync turned on keeps it down, but still very high.

Try out TFTs too. Samsung 172X is pretty good. Also some 19" models run fast enough, only when manning gun positions it blurs a little.

Saves space and power tremendously.

If going for TFT , wait a bit , some cool models coming out next autumn.
