Looking for an adjustable height monitor >= 21.5 inches

[patrick2099]

I am looking for a monitor, to mainly use for online roleplaying games such as Rift and WoW. I don't have a favorite brand, and don't care about speakers or webcam. My online main requirements are that the monitor be under $250 and that it have an adjustable height stand. I will be playing in 1920 x 1080 with an ATI 6950 video card. One of the monitors that I was looking at was ASUS VW228TLB Black 21.5" 5ms Height, Swivel, Pivot & Tilt Adjustable Full HD LED BackLight LCD Monitor but I wasn't sure, because it only had two reviews.

Actually, after reading some forums, I have another question too. If I will only be playing games and surfing the web, would 1680 x 1050 be sufficient? If so, please add those to the recommendations. Thanks.

Don't leave Dell out of your selections.
I picked one of these up for $180 this past spring.

Thanks, but the Samsung is not adjustable. The page for the Dell is not found. I was actually considering Dell, because I've had a Dell LCD for the last five years, that I have been very happy with.

i'd go with a 1920x1080 over a 1680x1050.

i've always had luck with viewsonic. might want to check them out.

I think that I am most likely going to get Acer B243HLbmdrz Black 24" 5ms. It looks like a pretty good monitor for the money, and has good reviews on newegg and amazon.
