Main purpose is for gaming:

ASUS VE228HR vs. LG 22EA53VQ-P

The LG one is IPS while the Asus monitor is a TN. Both have a response time of 5ms, both have a 75 refresh rate and both have 250 cd/m2 brightness. However, the Asus monitor has a contrast ratio of 80.000.000:1 while the LG has 5.000.000:1 contrast ratio.

So tl;dr.
The LG monitor is an IPS and the Asus isn't
The Asus monitor has 80.000.000:1 contrast ratio, LG has 5.000.000:1

Which one should I choose? They're pretty much the same price.

IPS has BRILLIANT colors and black, but won't be as good for gaming (they usually have a slightly higher response time even if it is listed as such.) The TN is not neccesarily a worse monitor, but is a more highly used technology than ips. Also asus tends to have very good product replacement while i have no idea on lg's policies. From what i have quickly read on reviews, both of these monitors are great, and the only one could really help you pick would be to put both monitors in front of you, and play the same game. Otherwise I'd personally say go with the asus, as they are typically a more gaming oriented company and their panels have been great for me personally (though i have a beautiful lg that works great as a tv due to the vividness of colors)

monitors are really important. if you can't buy a new one every year get the best you can. in this case the LG........ your eyes will appreciate it. plus, bigger is better........... one is 27" vs 21".......... did I get that right?

Both are 22 inch (or 21.5 inch), the Asus has 80M contrast ratio which is great while the LG is simply a positively reviewed IPS monitor. I can't choose. Im buying one in 20 minutes.

I would go with the asus for gaming. If you were doing things like photo editing , i would go with the lg, simple as that and hopefully an answer in time :)  Also if you can get a chance, try looking at them in store. If not, Asus has a great reputation for gaming

are you buying because of price?......................... if not check this..... BenQ XL2420TE

watch this nut about 11 minutes in. not the greatest take on a monitor because it's a bout an economy build............ but he does mention how much better the ips is over tn............... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlCqYyAQE_w&feature=c4-o...

and I'd do more homework before spending your money in a hurry.
