Buying a new monitor (suggestions please)

I got the Soyo 24" and like it. Having 1920x1200 gives me that extra little bit of screen real estate.
I picked it up at OfficeMax for $400. Then I got home, went to clipfire.com and saw that the week earlier, they were selling it for $300, so I went back and asked for the difference credited to my card... and they did it!
I also tried the Acer 24" but I liked the quality of the Soyo better for text, and as a trader, Hi-def graphics isn't what it's about, simple charts and easily readable text is what matters and the Soyo does a better job at it.
Here is the Officemax link for it:

Save your eyes, donât get a TN panel monitor...paid the extra money and get an IPS, MVA, or PVA.
Could you give a few examples or post a link of a monitor that you are talking about...
On the specs page, I dont see these different types you are talking about...how do you know what they are?

To understand the different between the monitor panels look at this

Personally, I have two Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP-HC, and they are S-PVA panels.

You will need to do the research to find out what kind of panels. I used to check forums and reviews on the monitors that I was interested in. Also, the type of panel depends on what you are using the monitor for.
