What Moniter should i get?
I have a i7-3770k and a GTx 570, (dual DVI and a minin HDMI port) And i need a new monitor because mine is ancient, does anybody have preferred brands for monitors? My budget is 100-200$ Any suggestions?

I've been very pleased with my LG's but Samsung was my first choice but more costly.

Are you looking for a 3D monitor?
LG and Samsung have some amazing panels, while Hannspree offer affordability if you want a good balance of cost:quality.
My main screen is a Hannspree while I used to use a Samsung series 4 (both HDTVs lawl) which is now relegated to serving my PS3 and Xbox downstairs while the Hannspree serves my PC.
Newegg.com - LG E2241VB-BN Black 21.5" 5ms HDMI Widescreen LED-Backlit Super Energy Saving LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DFC 5M:1 (1000:1)
Decent 21.5" LG here with a purported response time of 5ms and a HDMI port for making full use of the digital out of your graphics card.
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG S20B350H Transparent Red 20" 2ms (GTG) HDMI Widescreen LED-Backlit LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 1000:1 / Mega Infinity DCR
A Samsung here, 20" with 2ms response time and HDMI.
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG B350 Series S22B350H Transparent Red 21.5" 2ms GTG HDMI Widescreen LED Monitor 250 cd/m2 Mega Infinity DCR (1000:1)
Or the 23" version for $30 more
Just a few ideas to get you started.
Always ignore contrast ratio as there are different ways of measuring it and some companies use whichever method gives them the highest figure.
I have 2 Asus Monitors and am very pleased with both.
Newegg.com - ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1
That Asus is very nice if you were being literal about $200 being the upper limit
If you are patient, they run sales on them occasionally. I think I paid somewhere around $175 for mine.
I've heard that some asus moniters come with a dead pixel/Doa ect... And then the asus customer support is even worse. Are asus moniters a good brand also? They have a moniter that caught my eye.
I believe any brand of monitor can come with a dead pixel. All I can tell you is I have 2 Asus monitors and neither one had a dead pixel.
Okay, thanks for your time and advice!
