Heh...I'm not a graphics designer; I'm just looking at another monitor for games and coding/web browsing. 

I took a look at the two Dell monitors.  The U2311H I definitely can't get, it's just too far outside my price range, even though it looks great.  (I've negotiated with my parents to pay for half of the monitor as a Christmas present, so my limit went up to $250.)  The U2211H is more what I can spend.  I think I'm going to do some more research on that one, plus the other two I mentioned earlier.  The only thing I'm a little concerned about is that 8ms GTG response time from the IPS panel.  (This review from the site Retrevo, mentioned below, seems to indicate some ghosting issues.)  The Samsung and Viewsonic both have times of 2ms GTG. 

In looking all over for reviews, I've run across a review aggregator, Retrevo.

Here's what it says about these monitors:  Viewsonic, Samsung, Dell.

Based on that, and some of the other reviews I've seen, I'm leaning more and more towards the Viewsonic.

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union Address occurred during the same week.  This is an ironic juxtaposition of events--one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication, while the other involves a groundhog.
