I've got to echo the sentiments for Dell monitors, I have been using a Dell 2001FP for about 2-3 years and I have yet to have a single issue along with a picture (btw i leave my monitor on all the time and have yet to experience burn in)
You can normally find dirt cheap Dell monitors on eBay (it is where I bought my dad's birthday present (2001FP) a year or so ago (he also loves the monitor and has yet to have a single issue).
