Computer Monitor Help!

I right now have a 20" Samsung hooked up to my Apple Mac mini. The screen has been great, but I may get a different setup for it and I think the 20" will look small. Anyone have any ideas on a different monitor? I'm thinking a 23" to 24" Samsung or Dell, for around $200. One thing I love is a used Apple Cinema Display, but being a few years old I'm kinda worried about the wear and tear it already had. If only I had $800 to blow on the newer Apple LED Display

I'm in a similar situation (going from 17") and I'm personally looking at the ASUS VH242H.

I have a Dell SX2210 BNIB if you're interested. It came with my desktop, but I use a 24"Dell. So I never opened it. $175 if you're interested.

We have an electronics section?

Shit about Macbooks, netbooks and e-readers gets posted in here, so why not?

If you're willing to part with $750 I'll sell you my Dell 30" LCD.

Just a suggestion, but far more people visit ramblings so maybe it is a better idea to keep it in ramblings

I'd be surprised if anyone else associated that section with computers, honestly.

Looking for feedback on that VH242H, but it has a bunch of good reviews on the Walmart site.

After reading the most recent reviews on Amazon, scratch that VH242H. Still looking.

One I was looking at before was the Asus VH236H. Good reviews, but I don't really have the need for HDMI. One thing I don't like about all the usual monitors is how they are all black. Just since the computer is aluminum and white, as are the keyboard and mouse (all Apple). But I can live with it
