I've got a similar monitor to that on my system and it's been fine. I paid about $170 for mine..so happy with it for the price. It won't compare to a Dell UltraSharp U2410...but that monitor is about $550 from Dell right now...but it's the monitor I recommend for people who really care to have a beautiful display. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Self-Built in July 2009 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Q9550 2.83Ghz OC'd to 3.40Ghz Motherboard Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3R rev. 1.1, F12 BIOS Memory 8GB G.Skill PI DDR2-800, 4-4-4-12 timings Graphics Card EVGA 1280MB Nvidia GeForce GTX570 Sound Card Realtek ALC899A 8 channel onboard audio Monitor(s) Displays 23" Acer x233H Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard ABS M1 Mechanical Mouse Logitech G9 Laser Mouse PSU Corsair 620HX modular Case Antec P182 Cooling stock Hard Drives Intel X25-M 80GB Gen 2 SSD

I've only ever used or thought about buying Samsung, LG, and Acer. What else Brandwise should I be considering? | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 RC - 7100 64bit CPU AMD Athlon(tm) 64 x2 4800+ 2.50Ghz Dual Core Motherboard Hewlett Packard Memory 4 gig Kingston DDR2 Graphics Card XFX Nvidia GeForce GTS 250 Sound Card na Monitor(s) Displays 22" Samsung LCD Syncmaster Screen Resolution 1680x1050 Keyboard G15 Mouse G9 PSU BFG Tech 550watt Case Crap stock Dell Cooling Side panel open on case, and a box fan blowing in.

Hanns are also supposed to be good. And I have 2 HP2207 - they are great (but expensive). But in the tests, Samsung always comes out on top. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |

PS: I would not worry about the contrast ratio. You would not notice the difference - unless you are an eagle. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops OS Vista, Windows7, Mint Mate, Zorin, Windows 8 CPU from 1.6GHz Duo to i7 Monitor(s) Displays 2x HP w2207 Keyboard with trackball - no mices Mouse Trackball mice Hard Drives 5x HDD, 7x SSD, 12x Externals Internet Speed DSL 6000 |
