LCD Monitor recommendations

I am buying a 19 inch LCD monitor for Christmas and I have a 733 G4 with the Nvidia Gforce video card, does anyone have any recommendations or comments about monitors ?

wait a while. There are some speculations the 20inch apple lcd will be dropped in the price soon.
I think that would be the best choice, huh? ;)

I should have said I did not want an Apple display, they are overpriced and don't have any adjustability.

But they both work and look better. They do have adjustability, but unlike others they are calibrated entirely from the OS. Makes things a little easier than having to do everything manually through a set of clumsy buttons. Just my opinion ;)
 
I don't think having to raise or lower the monitor by placing it on a riser or box is the kind of adjustability I need. I don't think there is forward or backword tilt adjustment either.

Oh, that kind of adjustability... Well, Apple is conscious about ergonomics, and I don't see anything wrong about their displays. The display should be in such a height that when you look directly at it, you look at a point 2/3 from the bottom and 1/3 of the top of the viewable area. If you don't, it's your chair that has to be adjusted or your desktop that should be replaced. Just my opinion again.
 
KSV, I did not mean to sound harsh and I appreciate your opinion, my son and I spent last night looking for LCD's on the web and I went shopping today, it seems that the resolution for 99 % in the $600.00 range is 1280 X 1024 and the Apple 17 " is 1280 X 1024 also all though it is $100.00 more. I also found that the so called adjustability on the other LCD's is limited. I guess the chair idea has merit. I really wanted an Apple display but I really want the Cinema Display with the wide screen aspect ratio. This is giving me a headache !

I hope the price for the Apple 17" comes down before Christmas.
