I'm using a 19" Hanns-G. Had it for a year now and am completely satisfied with it.
Sounds like you need to do a little research and understand monitors a little more. It will help you in the buying process. Check out this Yahoo Tech page. There are two articles about a third of the way down the page on the left. They are "dummies" articles on monitors. Lots of good info there.
http://tech.yahoo.com/rc/monitors/115
Find the tech info on monitors that you are interested in. Compare the tech info of various monitors.
Look for the Contrast Ratio rating on the monitor. Get a monitor with a minimum Contrast Ratio of 700:1. Many of the monitors out there are 500:1 and the "picture" is not quite as sharp (especially on larger font text).
Learn about Aspect Ratio. Widescreens have an aspect ratio of 16/9 (I believe) and standard monitors have a 4/3 aspect ration. The widescreens do provide more screen area for multi-tasking but many also distort the picture and make many things look squashed. So go to the local stores and look them over and take notes.
Look for a monitor with a 3 year warranty and one with relatively low wattage use. The 3 year warranty relates to the quality/reliability of the product. If the Manufacturer gives a 3 year warranty, they're pretty sure the product will survive that, so it's an indicator quality/reliability.
A couple of good sites to shop for monitors and review the tech info on them are:
http://www.tigerdirect.com
http://www.pricewatch.com
Do your homework before you buy. Don't just take recommendations of personal favorites from folks on here. Remember they are only offering their "opinions", and they may not be as savy about monitors as you.
Hope this helps. Have fun shopping.

Starting with the type of techonologies out there which primarily consists of CRT / LCD / LED. As the technology moves and changes faster and faster the only thing I can think of which happens is that the purity of the device decreases. so If your budget is high enough, go with the ViewSonic Perfect Flat series (G225fB) in CRT Monitors since I use them for CAD for 17-22 hrs together everyday and in LCD since i use a cheap price and better resolution dell monitor on my machine so I cant give my say on this.

I use a 20" Samsung 206BW. It has a excellent display and fast response time in case you are a gamer. Shop around and you can get a good price. I checked the mail order places and found that with shipping added I came out better buying mine from Circuit City when they had a mail in rebate and picking it up at the store.

If you want CRT moniters then go for Samsung or LG
else if you want LCD moniters then choose Benq.

Personally, I feel samsung is a bit on the higher priced side. I use Westinghouse. I am on Triple 19 inch widescreen monitors right now.

I have been using BenQ 19" widescreen for a while and it's been great, no eye strain. Also have used Samsung. Both are v. good. The price is also very reasonable.
