Ok, my current monitor is dying, and getting worse every day. I need to get a new one sometime soon, probably within a week or two, but first I would like to get some suggestions. I am looking for a nice high resolution monitor, around 20+". So far, the monitor I like is this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009102). I would like to spend less than $250, closer to $200 would be better.
Any suggestions?
Look for a bit of 1920x1200 man.

The cheapest one on Newegg is $340, I cant afford that now....
The highest resolution I found for around $200 is 1680x1050

an old favourite but too expensive.
270$ after rebate; not bad imo.
might be a good viewsonic around for cheaper...

a little bit cheaper also seems to get good reviews.

I have the Acer AL2223W you linked in your first post. It is an outstanding piece and I have not had a single issue with it since I bought it in May. I did pay a little less for it though, it was $189 at BB with instant rebate (should have bought 2). Oh, and today I saw some really decent deals on LCDs at a reopened CompUSA.

WestingHouse 24" 349$ at BestBuy and with 10% cupon it was like little over 300$ 309$ to be exact. With 4 year warranty plan I walked out the door for 350$. It does have the buzzing if brightness is below 98% and it will stay on and display a very bright screen when the pc is turned off via the HDMI > DVI Cable for for $350 it rocks no ghosting no backlightning bleed problems.......

I ordered that monitor today, along with a DVI cable. For the same price as the one I found after rebate, and some good reviews I think its worth it.
Thanks :)
