Need Final Opinions on these 22" Monitors!

Ok, I've narrowed it down to a couple of choices here as to which monitor I'm going to get.

Acer AL2216wbd - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] =AL2216Wbd

Viewsonic VA2226W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824116092 (Same price with promo free shipping and rebate)

Those two are reasonably priced and the Acer seems to have great reviews and the Viewsonic is Viewsonic lol.

The 21.6" on the Viewsonic isn't that noticeable a difference I'd hope between that and a 22" ????

I really like the 22" LG http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824005097

and of course the Samsung 226BW, but that tacks on an extra $100 that I can't necesarily justify in my search for a new monitor.

The 2ms sounds nice and all, but it's quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things when you really compare 5ms to 2ms and how the human eye sees things. Just looking, you'd never be able to tell. Color clarity, etc?

I dunno, if you guys have any other thoughts/ideas let me know. the $100 price diff. is what's the killer for me here more than anything for monitors that would do the job quite well and not be so expensive.

Second one.

Well the 2ms and 5 ms is just advertising, they can pretty much put in there what they want cause they aren't telling you what they are measuring that is 2 and 5 ms.

I'd save a few more bucks for a 1920 x 1200 monitor ....at least it's HD reday...well worth it in the long term methinks.

While it sounds nice, a 22" is about as large as I can go. My desk won't quite allow for a 24" because it has a bridge over the monitor. 24" are a little too tall. 22" just barely make their way in

Well, if viewing angle is important, spend a little more. Otherwise, Acer makes good monitors.

Samsung Syncmaster 220wm if you can find one.

The Hanns.G HW223DP is a decent 22" with lots of extras including a USB hub and some ropey speakers..

Worth looking at for the price!

I don't see anything about HDCP support for that monitor.

I see Hanns-G on newegg all the time, but really don't know much about them.

I really think I'm leaning more towards the Viewsonic VA2226W - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824116092

It seems to be slightly better than the Acer for overall specs.

Hopefully I can eventually make a decision here and it's the right one!

I like your choices, but after seeing my cousins Wide Screen I was drooling....If your like me and keep your stuff forever spend a few extra $'s...

I went ahead and went with the Viewsonic VA2226W.

After a ton of research on both monitors/reviews (omg my eyes are bleeding from reading about the same couple of monitors..) The Viewsonic seems like the best bet for me. I've used Viewsonic monitors in the past and trust them as a good brand for screens. The stats were a tad bit better than the Acer as well. I did hear about the cheap stand, but I actually might get an arm for it anyway, we shall see.

Thanks for the help, in the end I guess going with my gut was the best thing. Always seems to work out for me there

Well, I'm using it right now to type this message!

It's pretty amazing! Great quality and definately was well worth the investment thus far. No Dead Pixels either! Which is absolutely perfect!

The only lame thing was having to order the DVI cable seperately, but not really a big deal. It came a day later. The VGA had a little ghosting issues for gaming, but the DVI is just pure silk! Bright and Vibrant!
