I like the ViewSonic VX2245wm LCD monitor not only for its usual feature set but also for its included iPod docking station. Thus you can play your fav music while doing that god awful assignment your teacher sent your way!  The 22-inch LCD  has features like; 5ms response time, 280 cd/m2 brightness, 700:1 contrast ratio, integrated stereo speakers and subwoofers. If all this was impressing you, wait there is more! The LCD also includes; 8-in-01 card reader, USB connection for your joystick/game control, integrated microphone and headphone jack. The ViewSonic LCD is priced at $495.
