I'd look at larger sizes as you will likely have it a while. Look where the prices jump significantly, usually at over the 19", 20" or 21" size. If you can, look at them before you buy for the image quality and viewing angle. Compare warranties too, but ultimately look at the prices. I prefer samsung as they make all their own components, other makers put together units using other manufacturer's components and quality can vary. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
