Mac Mini - which monitor to buy? (preferably white)

[hamsterburger]

Hi guys

I am getting a Mac Mini for general home use + a little photo tinkering. This is very much a non professional set up and I hope to keep the price within reasonable limits, so the Apple 24" is firmly out of my budget.

I was hoping to find something between 20" and 24" inch, preferably in white so that it will match the design of the Mac Mini. My main worry is viewing angle.

Previously I have used a Samsung 2243BW with another PC and although I found the 22” size and 1680x1050 resolution fit my needs perfectly, I was really not happy with the viewing angle and colour shifting on that particular model.

Does anyone have any recommendations? What displays are most popular among you Mac Mini users out there?

Thanks

If you care about color shifting, you should think about spending extra and getting an IPS display. Apple standalone monitors are all IPS displays (including all current iMacs). The 24" iMac was also IPS (20" was not). Newegg sells a couple of IPS panels, here is one:

Apple's 24" LED CD occasionally shows up on the refurb store for $599.

Considering the integration of the iSight camera, microphone, speakers, USB hub and the nice panel... well, I understand it still can be a reach.

I think they "coordinate" well with each other. Ya gots to "coordinate"!
