The 23" Dell U2312hm is in that same price range, but features a superior eIPS panel instead of the TN film in the Planar. It is, of course, quite a bit smaller.
Another alternative--bizarre as it sounds--is the Yamakasi Catleap Q270 SE. It's a 27" 2560x1440 display with an LG H-IPS panel for under $300. It has a cheap bezel and a cheap stand, but is an outstanding panel at an incredible price. My brother just picked up three of them. eBay will be your best source for these. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anthony Q.

It's not super special, but it works well for my needs (and for that price): http://www.amazon.com/Planar-Systems-PX2710MW-27-Inch-Monitor/dp/B002ZT0784/ ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341073027&sr=8-1&keywords=planar+px2710mw Planar PX2710MW 1920x1080. I've seen dell offer it several times at this price. I might pick up another one the next time I see it. It is decent and I like the price and size. I'm not a high-end graphics type, so this is basic WP, surfing, etc. You can read review on Amazon and Newegg.
