Need monitor for new gaming system. Any suggestions?

[R121991]

I currently have HDMI running on my LCD tv at home for my new gaming computer. It's a pretty sexy computer and i need a monitor because the tv just isn't cutting it. I don't know alot about monitors except that i don't want to go below a 20". Any suggestions about a specific monitor or a company or a website and what i can expect to pay would be helpful thank you

what should i look for as far as contrast ratio and what are some good monitor companies?

Well every brand produces gems and lemons so best research according to your target price range by reading reviews online, etc

for a contrast ratio most monitors are 1000:1 standard, 20,000/1,000,000:1 dynamic or ASCR.
