I am wondering what LCD you all could recommend that fits into my budget of $200-250, the less the better!

I am a mild gamer that would like the opportunity to play the latest games. I do some audio recording and mild video editing. I watch films from time to time. I am not looking for the best of the best specs for hardcore performance, just something that is better than my current 17" CRT monitor.

Here is what I prefer:

1) not a ton of backlight bleeding
2) 19"
3) low ms response (5-8, which ones better for my needs?)
4) looks good enough at different viewing angles
5) up/down tilt
6) $200-250, less the better
7) reliable, no major problems
8) not to prone to producing guitar hum (I play guitar and I get a lot of hum from my CRT monitor and was told LCD's help cut hum)
