i believe advent is PC Worlds home brand. but in the same light, Technosonic would do as previously mentioned. buy up old stock of panels and components usually 2 or more years old and rebrand.

IMHO, looking for a DVI connection is a good idea. If it's DVI-I it'll also support VGA with the right adapter.

Consider getting a display that'll rotate into portrait mode. I find this very useful.

Some also have video input too that might be handy if you have a games machine or an STB you might want to connect.

Aria always used to be a good place to look for monitors:

perhaps not everyone is a res junky and perhaps not everyone wants to pay the 22" to 24" gap price hike for anything descent. 22" is plenty for everyday use.

It arrived this morning at about 9:45! I've took some photos of it, but will have to wait for me to edit them down for the forum.

It looks fantastic, I can't get over how wide this thing is! I'm very happy with it up to now. :)
