So when I get my PC all built I'd like to use a monitor that can use it's full abilities. I'll be running a single GTX 670 and I think it's a bit overkill to run it on a 32" Coby LED with a max resolution of 1360x768 so it's time to upgrade.
After browsing for a bit I came across two good options.
The first is an Asus model with an average rating of 5 eggs on Newegg after almost 2000 reviews.

It's the Asus VH242H 23.6" and I would have most certainly picked it up if I hadn't run across this little beauty from a company I had barely heard of.
For my second choice I present the AOC i2353PH 23" IPS monitor

An IPS monitor for $190? Sweet. 9.2mm? I'm impressed. Soft touch controls? Sure. Stand that doubles as wall mount? You betcha.
Now I really like this AOC monitor, but I can't find many reviews on it. The one's I have seen though make it sound like a badass piece of hardware, and also damn pretty in regards to gaming (which is the main thing I will be doing)
The response time for the AOC is 5ms. Which compared to the Asus's 2ms isn't good, but understand my LED TV I'm using now has an 8ms response so even a drop to 5 is pretty awesome.
So what should I do? Give the Asus juggernaut a place on my desk? Or give the underdogs at AOC a go? I'm leaning towards AOC but I figure I'd let you fellows chime in.
