Samsung screens are the best at the moment, for both PC and HDTV

Samsung 226 for PC
and any samsung HDTV cleans the floor of other brands at the moment (heck, even sony steal samsung screens in their overpriced Bravia TVs)

A little to much for me

I have last years version of this one (samsung 940BW) now... and I have to say, it is a bloody awesome monitor (no ghosting, excellent resolution, and software to make all adjustments simple) at a reasonable price.

Pixel Pitch could be a bit better, but a great monitor nonetheless.

My main concern is that if you can watch tv from a satilite on this or the one thats on my first post

Monitors under $200 will most definitely not have nothing more than VGA or DVI (no SVHS, composite). If you want to watch TV, you're best bet is through the laptop.

I would recommend the samsung 226BW,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16824001096

or a 24 inch monitor if you want 1080i TV broadcasts to work (monitors less than 24" rarely have 1080 vertical lines)

Punctuation? Spelling?

I don't get it!

Damn, there's so much more variety at your avg. shop in the US, most of the Aus ones just carry stock unless you search for them individually!

But seriously, he has a point. I type this to you from a samsung monitor, and I assure you they are brilliant. Although I have absolutely no idea what model this one is, its Black and a flat panel (big help yes I know). Go with samsung if you can't decide, chances are it'll be great anyway.
