We've got a host of them at the office -- ViewSonic VG150s. They're reasonably good, though I prefer my 19" Princeton Ultra95 CRT for overall image quality, resolution, and clarity.
The ViewSonics are well supported under Linux, console works out of the box, and X config is generally pretty straightforward. There are some artifacts -- in particular, console mode text gets seriously chunky at higher resolutions -- say 50x80 or 60x80. There's also the stray dropped pixel -- essentially a screen bit that's always either on or off. Most panels have one or two. Effective resolution under X is slightly less than an equivalent (17") CRT -- 1024x768 was about the most I could sqeeze out (vs. 1280x1024).
