Best Bang for the Buck

Hey, Ty for looking =p
This is my first time that i ever purchased a monitor, i am leaning towards two monitors that i researched on, the acer and asus
Acer: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824009157 $149.99 with code
Asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6824236051 $149.99 with MIR 169.99 without.
well they both have pluses and negatives to them
The acer is nice sleak but the MS is 5 and i heard Gaming you should go lowest if possible, it is also less of a hassle because there is no MIR which is nice.
Asus on the other hand, has 2 ms and is more expensive only if the Rebate doesnt work, i reallly hate rebate.

Well my purposes for these monitors are for gaming (not hardcore gaming but casual rpg, aion and streetfighter etc.) i also hope to watch movies in good qualities and also wanted HDMI on it so i can play my ps3 on it (to cheap for tv =p) yea so thats why i went with these two, both under 180, has 1080p, HDMI and they both look nice. if you have any recommendations i should look into please post.THX
