I've been doing some browsing on newegg and can't decide if I'm even looking at a decent brand. It seems to me that Asus gets a lot of quality reviews but how to they stand up to other brands like LG or Samsung? It just seems like no company but Asus even offers quality monitors without the name premium. I want a 1080p monitor in the 19''-23'' range without spending much more than $150. Asus has fit the bill but I'm just perplexed as to why there isn't any competition in the price point by LG and Samsung. Is there a quality issue with these monitors?

Those are the two monitors I've been looking at. The built in speakers are not a big issue. I have a quality headset along with a cheap usb powered stereo system.
(Yes I do realize that this is in the graphics cards subsection but this is the graphics and displays category)
