It is not ideal viewing conditions, for a number of
reasons, but a good place just to get some feel for
what's on the market at a given time is Fry's. They
seem to have a nice selection of different makes and
models. Last time out, I began my preliminary
research there, and ultimately wound up buying from
Dell.
As to wide screen vs. non-WS, it's been awhile, so I
couldn't tell you what is dominating the market today.
The better WS ones -- and not just those impressive
Apple WS monitors -- *were* among the most pricey. I
would be very surprised if the non-WS ones have mostly
gone away. At the time I bought my LCD monitor (3
years ago), I thought that Samsung and Planar were two
of the best looking flat panel models I saw. I was
very picky about things like the relative readability
of different fonts / point sizes of text, how tiring a
particular LCD monitor seemed to be on the eyes, etc..
The "best" brands lineup may well be otherwise today.

My brother had two very similar Dells. They were all
actually rebadged Samsungs, and considered leaders in
features and bang for the buck.
