I recently built a computer formyself over the summer and I need some advice for the last piece of the puzzle. I need a decent monitor on a budget and this looks like it would fit the bill, but before buying I was wondering if there were any others I was missing.

Acer 19" Widescreen http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10081851&catid=

I'd like to stay under $220 CND, Thanks!

Acer make good budget monitors, and that one looks fine. For me, the only downside is the lack of a Digital input (DVI). Many users can't tell the difference between digital and analogue, I personally can tell quite a bit of difference. For that reason, I'd suggest this LG screen - bang on your budget.

This, of course, assumes your computer has DVI out! If not, there's no reason not to go for the Acer.
