That screen cracked my desk, good my room was high enough .

I like my ACER AL2016W screens, they are well priced, all the options a normal computer user needs, good colors and contrast (ratio 800:1 (yes, 800 NOT 600) but not that much difference wit 1000:1).

Ports 1 x 15-pin D-Sub (HD-15) VGA

Get one with DVI too, the AL2016W has DVI altrough some reviews say it doesn´t...
