I saw Balthazaar's 19" L90D+ and it's truly awesome. No ghosting, delay, and the backlight is perfect (no bleeding). I'm going to keep my 21.3" as my primary and get the 19" for gaming.

I'm going to need to get a swivel arm for the 19" though. The way my desk is positioned I can't use both on the same shelf. I may even use the swivel for the 21.3", undecided.

I need some recommendations to a cheap solution for a desk clamp style swivel arm. Looking for sub $100.

Looks like I found a winner. Compusa carries it but I think I can still find it cheaper online even after shipping.

$60 Walmart special. ;)

Also comes with a separate 2 shelf bookcase (which has my printer and DVDs on it), and if you want there's a sidesaddle PC stand that would go to the left of the seating area. I don't use it because there's a door to the deck to the left of my desk.

FYI - I found the Kensington 60106 monitor arm for under $90 shipped so I grabbed it.

Pinky, thanks for discovering this. This is something that I could use.

Hold up! Consider this arm before you decide. I just ordered 2 of these Moview LCD arms (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=686287&CatId=576) last week and I'm fairly pleased with them so far. The only thing is that up and down movement is a little stiff and I haven't quite figured the monitor 90 degree rotation part other than to use one of the other joints to do so. Other than that there's a few more fully adjustable degrees of movement as opposed to other monitor arms. The L90D+ is light enough to fit on this model since it is only 12 pounds (or less). There's another more expensive model that is technically for 19" monitors but you lose some movement with it.

The Kensington is a better arm, allows more rotation and larger monitor weight.

Do you mean monitor rotation or arm rotation?

This is the one I fell in love with

but the price 0.o

<sigh> it looks like for a good arm you pay almost too much.

Monitor rotation, believe the arm only swivels at the base and flexes forward, up and down. Then the joint that connects to the monitor swivels.

Yeah. Luckily I don't really care about portrait mode.

Got the L90D+ today (posted my brief review in the official L90D+ thread).

Here's a few photos of the dual display setup and the monitor arm:
