Okay, here's the bottom line.. I have $350 to spend on the unit including shipping.

I've decided it was necessary to upgrade because CyberDruid is putting an eVGA 8800GT KO into the custom build he's doing for me. My 19" Envision EN-910 has served me very well will be getting a new home on my son's desk for now.

As far as use, let me list what I do on my PC mainly:
  • Video Encoding.
  • Some Photoshopping.
  • Some gaming, but with the system & this new LCD, it may become mainstream.
  • Surf the net reading lots of articles and posting on various forums, so text display is very important.
  • Although I don't currently watch movies on my PC, I may occasionally do that. (Not a priority though as I will be looking for a family HDTV in the near future).

If new is out of the question for the money I want to spend, please suggest makes/models that might be used and within my price range.

Thanks a ton for stopping by!
 
How does a Samsung 226BW "C" panel sound? There's one FS on another forum well within my budget.
 
Welllll .... the 226BW really didn't exite me all that much but some like it. It's a 6bit panel so the color reproduction would be that great. But if that doesn't matter to you then forget that point. It won't have the viewing angles of the Soyo so you'll always need to be looking at the display head on to have it look good. I understand your budget so it may be worth looking into more. When the Soyo is on sale, it's, i'm my opinion, superior to the Sammy at the same price, and it's 2" larger.
 
22” means 1680 x 1050 native res
from 24” to 28”: 1920 x 1200
so I think you need to decide which size you want first, 24” for a gamer means a hard job for the video card
