Flat panels.
Right now, Im on an expensive build project. Can anyone give me some flat panel monitor choices that are cheap, because im on a strict budget right now. And if possible with a black color choice. If i can get flat panel, i guess CRT is O.K

You give no indication where you live, but if it is in the states, Sam's club has some good deals on flat panels if you happen to be a member. They have a Samsung 19" for $546.00 and a NEC 17" for $396.00.
Newegg and Mwave have good deals with reasonable shipping if you don't live near a city with Office Depot, Staples or Office Max which also have some good deals in addition to Best Buy. Chas

I would try to avoid some of the off brands. I have never had a problem with a Samsung or a NEC but I did with both Hansol models that I ordered.

It's hard to go wrong with a KDS.
Other decent budget brands are Sceptre and CTX. The last Samsung I sold had too many bad pixels for my liking, it had a double that was stuck bright - very annoying. |

As GLC said, KDS has been making great FP monitors. They come with a nice 3-year warranty, too. I've seen some really nice Samsung's, but they are the higher end models. ("T" series)
Also, Cornea seems to be a good off-brand solution. |

Flatpanels:
Samsung, Sony, Nec, Hitachi. CRT: KDS, Samsung, Viewsonic. All good companies. personally i would go Hitachi for LCD and Viewsonic for crt but for budget KDS does a really good job. |

I just got an NEC LCD1760NX, which is black, looks great, has both DVI and Analog inputs, and with shipping was $455 from Newegg.
