I've seen that some LCDs have anti-glare coatings on the screen... how much of a difference does that make? should that be a factor in picking one?

Also I'm looking to spend something like 200-250 and pick up a 19-22" widescreen LCD... any recommendations? do you think the price will drop on the SAMSUNG 226BW any time in the near future?

You know, just how LCDs work, I've never had much of a problem with glare, seeing as they aren't glass... I've not done much with those "ClearVue" or whatever you want to call that glossy coating they put on some, but I suspect that would case more of a glare than plain ones, if that's your case...

I don't have any specific models in mind, but I'd suggest looking for ones with low response times(6ms or less) and high brightness and contrast ratios. Check the resolution, too. You may not want anything too high, but you might want something that's true HD resolutions...
