Damn, as strange as this is, I was about to link to this. I would say this is good, because of the price, reliability, and the non reflective screen. Yes the glossy finish is nice, but if you have to slick of a surface you get bad sun glare if a window is behind you.They are nice, but have that side effect.

For the price though, the 19 should do you good. Unless you do design work, or have an odd desk space, the 19 sould suit you just fine.
