The "Luddite" in me wants to keep my aging Sony Trinitron CRT, but I'm planning a new build, and the "techy" in me wants a new LCD monitor...but I'm fairly "price limited." <$200

Anyone have any input on the ASUS monitors, especially the one in the title?
I do some gaming, and want a monitor that handles games well...no ghosting, etc.
I tried googling reviews for it, but of course, all I get are "reviews" by the places selling the monitor...no quality reviews.

I just got two of these in for testing, in order to replace the Dell E2210's that I used to order but were discontinued. My company buys these things in bulk for restaurant installations, so pricing is important for us.

The display is nice and bright, and easy to read. We actually like them better than the Dell that replaced it, even though they're $30 cheaper. The lack of height adjustment on the monitor stand is a bit annoying, though, and the menus to adjust the video settings are a bit weird.

I obviously haven't tried it for gaming, but with a 5ms refresh rate it should be fine.

Thanks Bob...I'll keep that in mind. Still looking, haven't made the commitment to replace the CRT...YET. :p
