Viewsonic VA1912w
Lovely monitor, and not very expensive, most of all GREAT value. Comes with ALL cables, and that's not all that common. Buying all of those would add quite a bit to the cost if you had to.
Wide (1440x900) is rather good when you have an IDE on screen, more space to work. You more rarely see a horizontal slider bar as well, as most things just fit as standard. At 900 deep you don't lose enough to have a problem with it most of the time. Also the whole screen is actually less pixels than for 1280x1024, so graphics cards can work just a smidge faster depending on the application involved at the time. It is only by a smidge though, but often it's just enough to get a frame rate you would like.
Best done via DVI socket if your graphics card has one.
