Acer AL1917W

Pros: very bright, highly responsive, aesthetically pleasing, crystal clear picture, DVI and VGA, built-in speakers

Cons: no height adjustment, buttons are sometimes hard to press, small brightness threshold.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Great for everything from web-browsing to hardcore gaming. At such a low price, I have yet to see a monitor that can outperform this one.
