For under $200 you can probably get a 19" monitor.

129 + 29 shipping = 158
.25mm but no speakers

Compaq FS7550 has .25mm + speakers for 159

The KDS one few posts up is only $97 but you get what you pay for. It's probably not solid and reliable.

actually, the JBL platinum speakers that comes with the Compaq isn't bad at all. I tested it at office depot and it sounded pretty good for clip ons.

My curent monitor is a 15" compaq. 8 years old and still works but it gets blurry after a couple hours. I might stick with compaq because it's been very reliable. I heard some Samsung CRT models have a bow issue at the top of the picture.
