Basically, budget is around 200 bucks, looking to get 1 monitor now, maybe a second down the line. I've been looking at NewEgg for a few weeks now and I am down to these 3 choices:

1. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] llFullInfo

2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] llFullInfo

3. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] llFullInfo

I am looking to watch HDTV and game on this screen as well! (Witcher 2/Crysis 2)

I am just worried because in the past i've heard people talk about HD quality (1080i/mock 1080p HD displays), but we all know what TRUE HD quality is; We've seen it.
For some reason we are sometimes bullied into buying the ALMOST up to par item instead what we truly want.

This is why I am asking you guys- I am not 100% sure what all those ratios and aspect ratios mean. Also, if you have any other suggestions for monitors please let me know.

Thanks!

This is all quite confusing, I really can't make up my mind -_-;;

The more monitors I see the more I get confused. =(

Thanks for the reply.

Any of those monitors are sufficient. I would choose the ASUS based on the response time at 2ms and the higher dynamic contrast ratio. Additionally, it has a 3yr warranty.

I wouldn't consider the LG because of the 1yr warranty.

The ASUS would be my first choice.
The Acer would be my second choice.

Thanks for the reply.

Heat was an issue for me, with my old monitor...this was the only monitor that seems to be "the one".
