Monitor with good color accuracy for under $400?

[grantling]

I'm looking for a monitor to do some video editing and gaming and the most I want to spend is around $400. I have a color accurate display to watch my final edits on, so I don't need something perfect, just good for the price range.

I'm looking for something between 22-24" and I'd like to have something that won't have any ghosting for when I play games (the new PC I built has an i7 3770k and a GTX 670 so I imagine I'll do plenty of that). Thanks in advance!

You're at kind of an awkward price point where it is tough to decide whether you want a low-end IPS panel or a high end TN panel. (IPS offers superior color and view angle, TN offers faster response times and less motion blur).

Since you asked specifially for nice colors take a look at the LG listed below. It has a 5ms response time which isn't bad (you won't notice ghosting unless you're really looking for it), and a nice complement of IO ports and features.

Thanks for the advice! Do either of these look promising?

The stats are impressive on paper but I'm not sure how they are in person.

Both of those are solid.

I own the Asus VS248H-P, and am very happy with it for what I paid. There is no issue at all with motion blur even when I look for it, and while the colors don't compare to an IPS panel they are still very good after some calibration. It's definitely a solid option aswell.

Thanks! I did get a VS248H-P but had to return it as one side of the LED was incredibly dim. I'm debating on getting another 248H-P or maybe this:

At work I use that and a BX2231 and I'm pleased with both. I wish the Asus worked out, I was so bummed out when it showed up DOA. Thank god I got it from Amazon and they're so flexible with returns.
