BenQ has an amazing line of monitors ranging from $150+. All their monitors have great build quality and superb visuals. I'm planning on getting one around Christmas time, hopefully the prices on their XL series drop.

Here's some links: http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2420TE-Performance-24-Inch-Professional/dp/B00D7IG556
