Samsung 226BW (Black) LCD Monitor — 

  The Samsung monitor is a good monitor for a pretty decent price. Not a piece of crap like others are. Good contrast, good quality, good clarity.

I'd recommended this monitor to anyone using a single monitor setup, because individually each panel is great and better with the right calibration. Although if you plan on purchasing 2, just hope that you receive two of the SAME panel, and that one panel is not defective so that you'll need a random replacement. So hopefully if you order two, they'll grab them from the same batch, and they'll both be in working order.

The good: Produces deep blacks with excellent shadow detail; accurate primary colors; numerous picture controls; great range of burn-in protection modes; good connectivity. The picture quality places it among the top tier of flat panel monitors.

The bad: Glare-reducing screen could be more effective; color decoding desaturates green; some false contouring.
