[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 4015652, member: 20741"] Yeah, Tom's sold out about a year ago. It's regrettable but it has. When I received a direct e-mail solicitation from somebody who paid Toms Hardware a month ago for the privilege - I resigned from their list. It had been coming for a while. for a long time the "weekly updates" mail were looking a lot less like news and a lot more like spam. Tom Pabst - I hope you made your money. I'm done with you. I would still recommend [I]Ars Technica[/I] and [I]Anandtech[/I]. CNet and its user reviews are not bad and are worth reading - however - there are occasions where stooges for the company shill through some of those "user" reviews. If you look about on other sites and see the same user review - that's the dead giveaway that the user review is not genuine. As for a 22" inch flat panel - I recommend the Dell 2208WFP. My wife has the older model version of this (the new one is even better) and I have the 20.5" inch version. Five stars. I would buy another from Dell in a heartbeat. I would agree that the Samsung Syncmaster 225BW is also a good monitor. Contrast is not as sharp as the Dell 2208WFP, however. (Result - Dell's Blacks are better and the overall image is superior). The 226BW advertises a superior contrast to the Dell. Not sure if its genuine - but if so, so much the better. It appears to be a slightly more expensive product. I expect you will be very happy with either the Dell or the Samsung. [/QUOTE]
