What LCD display to get

Y'all know how difficult is to work with lots of vst's, tons of knobs, sliders and many track channels epecialy when u use a shity monitor like i do (14" CRT). Lucky thing for me i use Reason which has everything displayed as a rack so u can scroll through all the devices. Now i'm switching to another seqnencer that supports VSTi and i'm definetly gonna need a better display.

No gaming or movies, video edinting...etc, just music production.

Anyone can give some advices?

Thanks!

edit: 250-300 USD is my limit

Yea, ViewSonic and Iiyama are great quality and priced well, these days though any tft should be fine from a fairly well known make...

Im after a dual setup too

Reason on one side cubase on the other maybe?!

As Bill Gates said recently - "Desktop space has a direct impact on productivity"

p.s my freind uses an LG 19inch and its great.

I have two ViewSonic VA902's. I can't think of anything bad to say of them. They won a test at finnish computer magazine and when I was looking for new monitors they were some of the cheapest on their class.

I have bought two Proview 19" TFT monitors for a total of €570 and have loved them ever since.

LG and Ilyama are also good ones as far as I heard.

Acer and Benq can also be quite cheap, though I have no real experience with those...
