[Gimp-user] Monitor recommendations?

[Daniel Smith <opened to gmail com>]

Hi all.
I know this is kind of off topic from Gimp, but I am right now looking
around at getting a new monitor and since I know obviously this list has
as lot of graphics and image specialist type people on it...
I am looking for the cheapest and best monitor I can get my hands on.
So far I have seen as the best deal the Asus VS239HP for about 175 bucks US.

but as I am (still) using my old fine pitch CRT monitor any advice
would be welcome.
I realized when I went to the Frys store here in Houston I had never even looked
at a LCD/LED one. Some of them were pretty crappy compared to the old Viewsonic
.25 dot pitch etc...
Thanks for any help.
Dan
