If you have any significant amount of money that’s earning less than 4% interest, this article is for you. You might already have a checking account at a local brick and mortar bank with lots of branches and ATMs in your neighborhood. These accounts have one advantage, and I already mentioned it – local branches and ATMs. The huge downside is that they earn no interest, and the “savings” accounts that are tied to them typically earn half a percent or less. There are many smarter options for parking your day-to-day cash, and today I’ll be looking at the best checking accounts among the most savvy of deal-finders.
Review: Samsung 226BW LCD, "C" Panel

I just bought a Samsung 226BW to replace my aging 191T, which has served me well for 5 years. The price of quality widescreen LCDs with fast response times finally fell to my breaking point. While my 19” 191T cost almost $800 when I got it in 2002 (from a sketchy retailer with the lowest price I could find), I just picked up a 22” widescreen 226BW from NewEgg for under $300.
