What have you budgeted for this purchase?
I prefer Viewsonic monitors for personal use but in work I go with high end Dell monitors.
What size monitor will you be getting?
Any chance you might go to a two monitor setup?

Roughly $628 U.S. Too bad as a Dell Ultra Sharp U2711 27" widescreen flat panel monitor with PremierColor will set you back about $900 U.S. On the other hand a Viewsonic VP2765 LED monitor - 27" will only cost you $580 U.S. Assuming you can get your hands on one.
No matter what you get don't skimp on the quality since you will be spending a lot of time staring into the thing. A poor quality monitor will only give you eye strain and headaches.

No problem Martin. Let's know what you think once you have your new toy unwrapped and in use.
