Hey all,
I'm looking to possibly invest in a secondary monitor to go along with my 15" MBP. I was given a $100 Best Buy gift card, so I'd kinda like to use that. I probably don't want to go over $150-$175. I'd love to go LED backlit, but that's really expensive. Anyone have a preference in which brand has the best image quality? (Thinking LG, Samsung, etc) again; I can't spend a ton, but I'd really like to get a decent size with decent image quality if possible. I'll be using it for Photoshop, Final Cut, photo editing, and many other things...

Thanks in advance!
 
I find dell ultrasharps to be awesome, and at a decent price.

Seconded. I bought a U2311H last month on sale and am absolutely loving it. The IPS panel will be good for casual FCP and photo work.
 
Yeah those are definitely really nice monitors. However, a little more than I was looking to spend. I am considering this

All the reviews seem pretty positive..
