My monitor just gave way, and I have been reading reviews over at http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=31&threadid=2049206 and http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/monitors/ and I can't decide on anything in line with my needs: very basic internet & movies (I'm hardly at home nowadays even for that). I seldom play games, however, I'm the type that won't want to buy the lowest of the pecking order simply because it's cheap (I'd prefer a "jack of all trades" type of solution). At the same time, I can't bring myself to spend $600+ for a peripheral I know I won't make the most of! And before you ask, the preference for non-widescreen is more due to space restrictions than anything else.

From what I've read, I want to avoid TN panels (which seem to be the source of everything that's wrong in the LCD market!), while a VA panel will suit the specs I've mentioned. Hence, my options come down to:

HP LP1965
HP LP2065
Dell 2007FP

Appreciate any thoughts/opinions/comments.

I would go with the dell simply because they have a better reputation as an LCD manufacturer.
