I am getting ready to buy a new monitor because a local compusa is going out of business and everything is marked down. I am looking for a 20-22in lcd monitor that is hdcp compliant. my system consists of an e6400 c2d, 2gb corsair ddr2 800 ram, xfx geforce 7900gt, biostar tforce 965pt motherboard and i am running vista ultimate 64bit edition. i am looking to spend no more than $350 but would like to spend less. Any suggestions???

I am about to order a Samsung 226BW and it sounds like something you should look at as well. After a $30 rebate it comes in a few cents under $350 with s&h:

It has superior specs and great reviews:

CompUSA also carries it:

but is not showing it with a rebate.
