Can't remember how much mine cost but I would guess around £120-£150 from the Computer shop in Plymouth. Had it about a year or more with no problems at all. It's a 19", DVI (model HU196D). Worked with no installation problems with Fedora 7. I don't actually think the question is which flat-screen works with Linux, but which graphics card you have that works with Linux and the monitor you have (or want), and at a resolution/performance that you want. The monitor is pretty much hardware, and simply being told what to do by the graphics card, not Linux. I suspect my monitor would work with any old vga graphics card that works on Linux. However, I would then of course lose all the benefits of the monitor. I have an ATI Radeon 9600, because it supports DVI, and I wanted the 3-D hardware acceleration too. (The card cost about £80 I think; again it was bought a good year or so ago.)
