Additional Comments: I'm going to a dual monitor setup but I'm not really an expert on monitors and TVs. This is just general use gaming and internet surfing with some movies here and there so I'm not looking for something top end thats going to cost $1000 but something better than what I have now (Which isn't much)

I'd recommend Dell's Professional Series monitors (you have to look as a small/home business to access it on www.dell.com/monitors), specifically the P2311H and P2411H (what I own). They are exactly the same as the E2311/2411, but the stands have height and rotation adjustment, which are worth the extra $20 or whatever.

My E2011s and P2411 all have amazing colors and brightness settings, and are IMO some of the best monitors for the $$.

That said, Asus also makes some good 24" screens. I don't know of any models specifically, but my experience with the VG236H 3D monitor was fantastic as well; I just didn't use 3D and benefitted more from the 3 smaller monitors for work.
