Hi! Been looking for some advice between these 3 monitors

3. LG L204WT 20" Widescreen Monitor

Also:

I currently have a 19'' LCD: Hyundai L90D+. I would like to dual-monitor and was wondering what size would be good to match with my current LCD so that the height is aligned. 22''? 20''?
 
The Acer is a good monitor that will give you what you need without the extra cost of the other two. Might have to be creative with aligning the two together though. They don't have height adjustments so it could be tricky, especially with monitors of different sizes.
 
22" widescreen will definately be the closest in vertical height to a standard aspect 19". That acer seems to be a pretty good monitor, I really like my samsung 225BW i picked up for 300 after rebate, I think I've seen that Acer go as low as 270 after rebates if you look around for a deal. The samsung has a little bit of back light bleed which may not be acceptable to you, but I think the overall quality of the panel and how great the display looks more than makes up for it.
