Additional Comments:
This is what I have been looking at:
HP LA2405wg Black / Silver 24" 5ms Height/Pivot/Swivel adjustable Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 3000:1(1000:1)

So it should be said that I like a big screen. My laptop is a 17", and my home theater projects onto a 151" screen. I like my eyes to be "full"! That being said. I am looking for the best quality monitor for the money in a big size. I would love something with a higher max resolution or bigger size, but have been unable to find anything in this price range. I would ideally like to stay below $300, but there is a little wiggle room for something that blows me away.
