With a coupon I can get the Dell ST2320L for $135. This seems like a fairly good deal, I mostly just do email, write documentation and a little bit of programming on the side so I don't really need anything fancy and I'll probably be picking up 2 for the extra space.

Anything I should be wary of? I had no idea monitors were getting that low in price, especially with an LED backlight.

Thanks!

Yeah, I figure I don't need an IPS panel for my needs, I don't watch TV or play games on my computer and I wanted to spend less than $300 to get back my dual screens. This will look loads better than my 1024x768 CRT I've been using the last few years. I'm sold, ordered 2, should be rocking the dualies in about a week.

I don't see the point of having one great display if you aren't doing anything that utilizes it.

Ok I know the OP said that DVI and HDMI are basically the same, but are there any advantages with HDMI over DVI? My monitor has a HDMI port, and my graphics card has two DVI ports. I was wondering if I got a DVI-HDMI cable and hooked that up would it make a noticeable difference over my current DVI-DVI cable? I watch HD movies on this monitor so being able to enhance the quality of video even a little bit would be nice.

HDMI is DVI but with an audio channel, that's the difference. So no, you wouldn't see a difference between the two.
