The next upgrade I'm going to do is going to be a high-powered single GPU or a dual mid-high end setup to replace my 4890 CF.

I would also like to upgrade to a 120Hz monitor.

Anybody have any favorites, suggestions, or advice? Size-wise, I'm leaning towards either 23" or 23.6".

Bump, anyone else? I'm leaning towards the Asus now.

Some things I'm worried about are ghosting and backlight bleed.

Newegg is pretty good about their return policy.

If you are really concerned about quality, Dell is awesome regarding return policies so getting the alienware model might be a good idea

I have both the Asus and the Dell Alienware models, the Asus just went RMA due to bad pixels that started to spread. Asus was good about the RMA though and it was an easy process.

I like the non-glossy screen on the Alienware more than the Asus one.

I'm not sure the price differences, I picked up the Dell on a sale so it was the same price as the Asus one at the time.

I'm probably more price sensitive. @ 399.99, the Dell is less appealing considering I get hit with 8.25% TX sales tax on top of it.

Even with their promotion of a free $50 GC with $300 GC purchase, it will only knock it down to $382.99 shipped after tax.

B&H has the Asus VG236HE (no glasses) for $259.00 AR shipped, which IMO is a killer price.

I also see that Staples has the LG D2342P-PN for $239.00, but have read bad reviews on it. After tax, it comes out to be $259.79 shipped, similar to the Asus, AR.

I've also seen this Planar on newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824016168 which seems to get some great reviews. That's probably near the limit of my budget. The cheapest price I found from a reputable store is at Provantage for $318.16 shipped.
