Best Gaming Monitor <$200? Recommendations?

[adampcpower]

im building my first high end gaming PC and need help/recommendations on the best gaming monitor to show off my machine for under $200. I would like the monitor to have the lowest possible response time (2ms) and have LED backlighting. Also, the best specs for gaming like refresh rate and others, with a screen size of around 23" for under $200. Im new to buying computer monitors and i dont know which is best for gaming for the best price. im willing to buy from any reputable online retailer like Amazon, newegg, tigerdirect, etc. i want my gtx 670 to look its best!!

Thanks for your time

I don't think that you can beat the deal on this last one as it meets your spec's and is a low price.

Except I just notices that it doesn't have the led backlight so you would hve to move up to the next couple of choices.

I would have to agree with hellfire24. The Asus vh238h is probably the best. I own this monitor myself and couldn't be more happy. Its bright, colorful, offers low response at 2ms, power efficient, has no ghosting issues, and looks good sitting on your desk! I encourage you to consider this monitor and if you have further questions about my vh238h, feel free to message me.

If your budget was a little higher then you could consider this monior and the reason for that is because it has a refresh rate of 120hz and while it is 3D capable it's not just a 3D monitor but a full HD one as well. The refresh rate is the reason for posting this and those who have this monitor tell me that they would never go back to a regular refresh rate monitor.

Im having trouble picking between the VH238H monitor and the VS247H-P. i cant seem to decide...

If price is a deciding factor then maybe go with the less expensive one that has a rebate because they both seem very close and most likely you won't go wrong with either one.

I'm also looking for a better monitor. I was wanting an IPS panel and I was wanting to know if all of these are IPS or not.

These are all TN panels made for higher refresh rates and response time more for gaming while IPS cost more for better Colour
