I have pretty basic standards for monitors -- as long as it looks nice and has no dead pixles, I'm not worried about 2vs 5ms response time or anything. I figure I'm not a graphics designer or CAD engineer, so why should I discriminate, right?
I bought a Sceptre 22 inch recently for $160 shipped from newegg. No dead pixles, the screen looks great, movies look great and games play awesome. The image quality is better than the old 19 inch non WS dell I had from 2004 and, at the time, that dell blew away most midrange monitors.
I'm sure that this sceptre ranks on the bottom in scientific tests and the brand reptutaiton isn't good, but for the price, I can afford to replace this in a year if it blows up for some reason. Heck, for the price, I can easily afford a second.
I mainly chose it for price and the fact that it's 1650x. I don't want too high of a resolution since I'm gaming on a 4850. I like very high FPS and 1650x is more than enough for me.
