Looking for Monitor Suggestions

[CurseTheSky]

I recently asked a few questions about dual displays in this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/me...=2299189&enterthread=y. Now, I need suggestions about what monitor to get.

1. I'm primarily looking for another 24", and prefer 1920x1200 resolution; I would accept 1920x1080 if it's an exceptionally good monitor or amazing deal
2. I would prefer something with VGA, DVI, and HDMI inputs if possible.
3. The monitor will be paired with my current Dell 24" 2408WFP, and I really want something that will "match" it size wise; I will consider smaller monitors (22" for example) if it's not a TN panel.
4. My budget is $250-300ish; I can go a little higher for an outstanding deal, but would prefer to stay lower in that spectrum. I realize I'm only looking at TN panels for that price, but I still want something that's not a piece of junk.

So far, this has caught my eye: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16824236033

It's the right size, resolution, and price. I'm just hoping there are some other good deals out there so I can pick and choose.

Thanks.

can't you look for another 2408WFP? I have a Soyo 24" (non-TN) that I picked up a couple of years ago for $250 and it was/is amazing especially for that price. The problem now is that I just purchased a Dell 3007 for $600 from FS/FT and it makes the 24" monitor look absolutely tiny.

Another 2408WFP, even used (except for the horribly abused ones) is way out of my $250-300 budget.

If you're on a budget I'd recommend that Asus. I bought the 16:9 version and its excellent. Its clear and vibrant. It scales well at different resolutions. My games look amazing and colors are spot on.
