Any thoughts about making a new list for 2010?

While off the $150 list, my father just bought the Samsung PX2370 23 inch widescreen LCD-LED backlit monitor. We shopped for two days online and in local stores to find a good deal. The market seems to know that we only want to spend $150!

For example, the ViewSonic’s VX2250WM-LED 22-Inch is a beautiful monitor with 1080p but you can only get it for $169 right now.

As soon as you look at the specifics of these monitors, their flaws become apparent in the sub $150 category. Keep an eye out for low resolution and weak monitor stands since they will quickly come back to haunt you after the purchase.

Good info, thanks for sharing rgathright!

That's a common headache with products in the "budget priced" category --- poor build quality (such as weak monitor stands) that will quickly make you wish you'd shelled out a few extra bucks for a higher-end model. But that's where reviews and community forums come in handy ... you can find out how well a product stands up to daily use and wear-and-tear.

I'd love to do an update to this list for 2010, just not sure I will have the time to do it. Lots of upcoming reviews and plenty of other site changes/tweaks I have on my to-do list in the mean time. If I do get around to updating this list for 2010, it will be closer to late fall/early winter.
