Looking for 22-24" monitor suggestions

[CurseTheSky]

After using a 20" widescreen at work for several months, I'm finally starting to like them. I'm using a 20.1" 1600x1200 monitor right now, but I want something bigger so I can sit back and watch movies from time to time.

I'd prefer a 24" if possible, but a NICE 22" might do. I'm also looking for something in the $300-450 price range. Decent quality is a must (getting kind of tired of the viewing angles on this TN panel), and I don't need any extra goodies (USB ports, speakers, swivel, etc.)

A local Staples has this Dell 24" monitor on sale for $399 (the website is cheaper, but who knows with shipping). I've also heard good things about this Westinghouse 24". I've personally only used Samsung monitors since 2004ish, but I've had horrible luck with the last three I bought.

Suggestions are welcome. System specs are in the sig.

Thanks.

I am very happy with my 22" LG L227WTG-PF display... It is a glossy panel and probably the best LCD I have owned thus far. The glossy panel does introduce from reflection, but the contrast is way more accurate, especially the blacks. It really reminds me of a CRT, except I don't get the head-aches and eye strain from the refresh rate.

Also, you will get some better answers if you post this question in the sticky LCD thread... XTKnight is the resident guru on the displays and can help you find a great display.

Probably the best 24" next to the much more expensive nec, I can't seem to find them for sale anywhere though.

I have one on one of my pcs, and it is really nice, a lot better than the dell 24" I've used.

Don't know why I can't find them for sale anywhere though. Maybe discontinued.

Excellent monitor though.
