Looking for a new monitor

[AsianBatman]

It really seems that you really want a LCD. I haven't used that lcd but from the reviews, and the specs, it should be quiet decent. But look around for a cheaper monitor.

Is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001067 any good?

For the price it does not seem too bad. The contrast should be better, but 1280x1024 is a good native resolution for gaming. 8ms is good for the sub $300 price. The reviews are good so I say go for it.

700:1 is bad? Most monitors are around 500-600:1, usually less.

I got the Viewsonic VA1912wb 19'' Widescreen (1440x900)
I was hesitant on getting the widescreen version but after reading the reviews on this monitor I gave it a shot... BEST thing I ever did. I love this monitor! sharpest picture and text that I've seen in a LCD (I've had a few). It has D-sub and DVI connections and come with cables for both.
Widescreen gaming is a joy! COD2 and FEAR look amazing!
it only costs $309 at newegg and is well worth it.
