The least expensive brand name unit I know of is the Sony 1304HG.
If you want a larger one (16" nominal) the NEC 4D is being advertised
for about $500 more, i.e. $1100+ compared to $600+.

There is a discussion of the NEC unit in Zilbergeld's column in the
latest Computer Currents. I highly recommend the article.

My opinion is that 16" is _much_ nicer than 14" in monitors but I
think the $500 price difference is excessive.

The "list prices" are ridiculous in either case.

I hear nothing in life is certain but death and taxes -- and they're
working on death.
