I think they're a ripoff for the bigger screens myself. > Which brands should I look for? I prefer to go for quality with something you use all the time like that.

Just got a Mitsubishi DV19NF, lovely monitor that appears to be being run out as its due for replacement. > Will I need a new video card?
