LCD suggestions? ($200-250 range)

I'd use it for playing poker mostly but would be interested in possibly buying another one of the same kind (or size) for dual displays down the line. I guess it would be nice if it could have descent potential for games down the line when I update this dusty rig.

In the meantime I still have the Viewsonic CRT for 1 screen gaming.


Thanks in Advance

Thanks for the info. I actually decided to spend a little more and got the Samsung 22" wides screen on sale at Best buy for $315. I'm quite happy with it except for the base which sucks. Here's a link to it SAMSUNG 2232BW LCD-monitors

What's up with the base on your Samsung?

The base on mine swivels from side to side, tilts, and raises and lowers, also the screen rotates for tall screen mode.
