   Honestly, I would not buy any computer or monitor with the HP brand name on it.   
      
      
   Dell seems to have good monitors produced for them.  I recently bought over 30   
   of them from a company that got acquired.  I tested them first, and rejected a   
   lemon or two.  I had no trouble selling them either direct or thru another   
   reseller, and everyone who bought one direct from me is very happy with their   
   monitor.  These are 4-year old Dells, and the newer ones are just as good.  Now   
   I have two left to sell.   
      
   Other decent brands are Sun (newer SVGAs only), NEC, Sony and the IBM P-series   
   monitors.  I've also dealt with some good quality Compaq-branded monitors.  HP   
   seems to have preserved the Compaq brand name for the better stuff, the HP name   
   for junk.  Finally, Viewsonic monitors are OK by me.   
      
   There is no sense buying a monitor for short money in a mass market store like   
   Best Buy or Circuit City.  Mass market equates to cheaply made these days.   
   Spend a few more bucks and get something with good quality, easy on the eyes.
