Have some idea whether you want analog, dvi or one that does both. I'd
look at larger sizes as you will likely have it a while. Look where the
prices jump significantly, usually at over the 19", 20" or 21" size. If
you can, look at them before you buy for the image quality and viewing angle.
Compare warranties too, but ultimately look at the prices. I prefer
samsung as they make all their own components, other makers put together
units using other manufacturer's components and quality can vary.
