I'm currently using a LG 22" and HP 17" for my setup but I've been looking to get a second 22" for awhile. Just recently the idea occured to me to turn my computer room into a small home theater so I'm looking at 26 and 28" LCDs - in the 26" range in paticular pricse range from $300 to $480 depending on the brand with roughly the same features (all though the higher end one, samsung touch of color does have more features) but like anyone else the last thing I want to buy is a junker so I'm curious what you guys use and what your thoughts on them are?

Thanks,

NEC 2490WUXi. It's closer to $1000 but I don't think it's worth buying the lower end monitors if you are planning on using it as a small home theatre. IPS screens are so much better than TN/PVA/MVA it's not even funny. The monitor is also one of the parts that can stick around "forever". I'm still using my 20" (which is IPS) that I got 5 years ago alongside my new one.

As a side note if you don't mind spending the ~1000 for the NEC 2490 you won't regret it. It's an amazing monitor.
