I'm working on my first build right now, and am trying to decide on which monitor to buy.

I have a AMD 7870 w/ 2GB of VRAM. I'd like a monitor that's at least 21.5" (though preferably 23") that isn't complete garbage for around (or less than) $120. Can it be done?

As for monitor features, I will really only be using this at a desk straight on, so viewing angles shouldn't matter that much (?). However, I'd like it to be able to tilt... Also, 1080p is kind of a must.

I've been looking at this ASUS 22" monitor, and this AOC 23" monitor. But, I'm not sure if they're any good...

Thanks for any suggestions you guys can give me! I appreciate it a ton.

you dont have alot of choices at that budget ,

pick

Asus VS229H-P

$134

thats the closest to your budget and IPS , but what ever IPS is allways better than TN , never get TN

Edit : if you want 23 inch , you can pick this one for 150$
