Peek into any office, and you'll see that 19-inch and 20-inch LCDs have become a standard part of the desktop. All five monitors on this list cost less than $200, and some less than $150. What you lose in screen size by choosing a smaller monitor you make up in money you have leftover to spend on other things. Like games and Blu-ray movies! Well, maybe that's just me.

Lenovo ThinkVision L1940p - flat panel display - TFT - 19
The Lenovo ThinkVision L1940p costs a bit more than competing 19-inch LCD monitors, but its many ergonomic features and great overall performance could persuade those not shopping on price alone.
Price: $226.00 - $249.99 (check prices)
