I am looking for a good LCD monitor to buy, preferably between 20" to 24". I have around $200 to spend. I came across this monitor, which seems to fit my expectations. However, I have no experience with this brand of monitor - does anyone else have any with this brand? Good, bad? So so?

$180 with free shipping seems like a great deal. I am strongly considering purchasing this.

Decided to pick up this instead based on a few reviews and a reliable brand:

I have the 24" version of that monitor and it's amazing. I'll tell you this much though, if the rebate is from Samsung you will never see it. I mailed my rebate in on 2/7/08 and it took them till 6/30/08 to "mail" it, and I never received the check. Fuckers.

For future reference, Hanns-G (and Hannspree) is a reputable company. Not well known, but I've been using my 19" Hanns-G for over 2 years now and it's been a fantastic monitor. I used to game on it, but I just recently picked up a Samsung 24" and put my Hanns-G on my HTPC. I'd buy another one if I was looking for something reasonably cheap and good.

Hopefully I won't get any dead pixels.

I am personally waiting on the new BenQ G2400WT to see how much US stores will be selling it for. If they overcharge, V2400W or G2400WD will be my choice.

Hanns-G LCD monitors are terrific. Let's face it, monitors are almost a consumable product at this point. With the exception of a few really bad companies and a few really great ones, they're all pretty much the same.

This monitor is absolutely fantastic. I'd get some pictures up but my SD Card reader isn't working (which I am currently trying to resolve).
