Funny you should post this, I owned an LG monitor until two days ago when my house got burgled. Whilst in the market for a new monitor I came across the Samsung Syncmaster 226BW (2ms 3000:1 DC) and I have to say so far it is amazing. I would rate it much higher than the LG, it's something about the picture and build of it. When you are handling it, it feels solid and well made and it is quite aesthetically appealing too. Just my 2 cents, feel free to disregard my opinion if you want.
