I will be using it mainly for homework and web browsing and some gaming. I won't need to do any editing or anything, so the color reproduction doesn't seem like it will be too important. I can stretch my budget to about $150 if it will make a big difference.
I am hoping for a 23" or 24" monitor. Should be 1920x1080 and 5ms or better. I don't think the brightness will be too important. I also don't need 3D or TV receivers or touchscreen or anything. Speakers would be a plus but not vital. I was wondering how important the contrast ratio is and which of the ratios I should look at.
I am hoping to go to Fry's and pick one up today. I was looking at this one: http://www.frys.com/product/7279933
Any recommendations? I am not at all set on the one I have, but it seemed like a good starting point to give an idea of what I'm looking at.
By the way, I'm building the computer right now. No GPU, i5 3570k build-in graphics (Intel HD 4000).
