New Video Monitor Advice?

I'd keep an eye out on NewEgg for specials.

So ASUS makes good monitors then? I'm only familiar with their motherboards and budget laptops. 
LG (as well as Samsung) makes TVs too, so I would lean more towards them.
 

Coincidentally, just as Elson posted this one of my video monitors gave up the ghost.
 
I'd had it for 10 years, so I guess I'd gotten my money's worth. But I needed a quick replacement, so I pedaled on down to Best Buy to pick something up.
 
I'd been using two 20" monitors, which are just the right size to fit between the speakers without impinging on line-of-sight to the speakers. But nobody sells 20" monitors anymore, except online. So I had no choice but to go with the smallest monitor in the store, 22".
 
Knowing I'd have to upsize, I considered going with a single large monitor instead. But a 32" monitor would have given me less screen space than 2x20" and would cost $600-800 vs $100. So I now have a 22" and a 20" monitor, and they no longer fit as comfortably between the speakers.
 
I believe this may be the solution:



$39 at Fry's. This will let me position the two monitors vertically. When I can afford it, I'll then be able to get a larger monitor and it won't interfere with my speakers. 
 
Oh, the display I bought was from AOC. I've had a previous monitor from this manufacturer and it died after less than a year. But it was only a hundred bucks, and it's crisp and bright. I later found it at Wal-Mart for 10 bucks less.
