Recommendations for 19" flat screen monitor
I'm in the market to buy a 19" flat screen monitor. What monitor/s do you like & why? If you can give me a price range for your monitor that'd help.

Well the old 1900FP from Dell is a nice one, manufactured by Samsung. Also the 191T with Samsungs name on it.
The new 1901 Dell is made by someone else I believe, not sure how good it is.

the 1901fp is now listed on both Home & Sm Business sites at $649. A bit pricey, no?

I just purchase one for $697.00 (including tax, and shipping)
Go to Dell4Me.com/beyond09 - Dell has marked this monitor down from $649 to $584.10 until the end of September. I just bought one, and I am praying it does not have any defects.

Now, I just hope you have a DVI connection on your video card so you can run it direct digital. Analog is OK but uses more memory and may not be as sharp as it could be. Also, If you don't have an Nvidia card or a later ATI Radeon (so you can have Pivot or Rotate as part of your driver) you can obtain a free trial copy of Portrait Pivot Pro software here, and if you like it, spend that extra $40.00 you saved on it!.

in real usage.. do people actually take the time to turn it or leave it portrait all the time and just change it back for gaming?

The 1901FP pedestal and support has a screen rotation feature allowing you to view in either the normal landscape mode, or in portrait mode. In order to view in anything other then landscape you have to have software which also rotates the display. Dell has a packaged ATI driver with rotation feature for this on the Radeon 9800, and Nvidia includes the feature in all of it's XP/2000 4x.xx and above, called NVRotate. Here is a good Nvidia link explaining these features.. If you have an earlier card, or Win98 you will have to get separate software, I referenced you to the Portrait Pivot Pro, which is a leading display software, which you can trial for free.
