Dell has got some of the best quality monitors in a wide range of sizes. There is one huge problem however: Dell monitors are some of the most expensive monitors. They have unparalelled picture quality with a great range of color and perfect brightness. If you have a boatload of cash, there's no reason not to get a Dell monitor. For the rest of us, move on to something cheaper.
Acer
Samsung
Samsung makes some of the best monitors for their low prices. Given praise for their really hardy stands, Samsung monitors are probably the most durable. The range of color as well as brightness are also very good, especially for their average price.LG
LG monitors are average in quality and price, much like acer. There is one upside to most LG monitors is the exceptional brightness. A crisp brightness is usually always a good thing. Unless you can get one for cheap, then you should probably look elsewhere.
HP monitors are closest comparable to Dell monitors: very spendy. Granted, they aren't overpriced like many of Dell's are, but they are slightly more faulty. Generally, these monitors are quite reliable and have some of the best picture quality available. But again, HP (or Compaq) monitors are mostly expensive.
Asus
Asus monitors are my choice for several reasons. The biggest selling point for me is the automatically included 3 year warranty with ultra fast shipping. Not only this, the color range is amazing and Asus monitors have some of the deepest blacks I've ever seen. Also, Asus monitors are priced generally lower than the rest. The biggest problem with Asus monitors is frequent dead pixels; but this of course doesn't matter too much with a three year warranty.
The Winner is...
Well, like I said before, Asus is my favorite; they are cheap, good, and include an automatic three year warranty. Otherwise, I would say Samsung is a good choice. Ultimately, it depends on how much money you are really willing to spend, but generally, there isn't a big difference in quality, so the cheapest of one of these big name brands is probably what would be best. There are several other brands: Hanns-G, View Sonic, and Westinghouse to name a few. These are mediocre and you can get them for usually a low price. Read reviews on the product before purchasing. Some companies will put out a great model for cheap and a terrible model with blurring and washed-out colors for nearly the same price. Read the reviews on specific model you are looking at. Usually though, you will be safe with these brands I listed above, especially with Asus' three year warranty. Thanks for reading!
