I'm for certain I want a 24" monitor I just don't know what brand to get.

PLEASE HELP!

Also, Should I get a widescreen or not?

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked at the monitor earlier. Specs look great.

Or you could get the samsung 244T.
The LG is a nice screen, it's basically identical to the Apple 23" except its 1" bigger and has a different outer case.

Dell monitors always look nice, but they seem to have some problems in displaying colors, usually too dark.

Again Dell are using the LG monitors, so your just paying extra money for the brand, that's all.
