So, my 22" CRT is screwing up and I think it may die soon, after all, it's 8 years old.

I'm looking to buy a 24", because the 26" will be too big, so far I've looked at a few models but I'm not exactly sure which one will be the one that will best all around, not just for "gaming", I'm talking ALL around best.

And here are my choices:

Acer P244Wbii Black 24" 2ms HDMI 16:9 Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 20000:1, 1080P? Good?

SAMSUNG 2443BWX Glossy Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1(1000:1)

SAMSUNG TOC T240 Rose Black 24" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 20000:1(1000:1)

ASUS MK241H Black 24" 2ms HDMI Widescreen LCD Monitor with 1.3M Pixel Webcam 450 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 3000:1)

Acer X243Wbd Black 24" 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor 400 cd/m2 3000:1 ACM with HDCP support

LG W2452T-TF Black 24" 2ms(GTG) Widescreen LCD Monitor 400 cd/m2 10000:1 DCR with HDCP support


I'm leaning more towards the LG, mainly because it has a good CD/m2 (whatever that means), the f-Engine and excellent warranty, a key point which I always look for.

2nd best I see, it's the ASUS but that sucker consumes 130W, which it's not my cup of tea. Or I wonder if the stupid camera included consumes some of that power too.

2nd best (two 2nd best), it's the Samsung TOC, mainly because I've seen the TVs TOC and they're looking sharp along with a 55W of power consumption.

I bought a couple of ACER 17" a couple of years back for my wife, and they're okay but the movies look horrible, colors were horrible......so I stayed away from LCDs in general.

Samsung has a good rep for LCDs

ASUS seem good, I've always trusted ASUS products.

LG is pretty good from what I've found out about it.

But when it comes to LCD monitors, I'm lost. This will be my 1st one ever, so I hope the experts will help.
