I do not watch movies on this monitor, i play some games on it though, mostly CS:S, but latley i use my xbox 360 more- which is hooked up to my TV, so it will not be played on this new monitor.

which would you choose?

X2gen seems more like a selling association than a true brand:

http://x2gen.com/index.php?main_page=x2gen_aboutus

Computer World Solution, Inc. is the umbrella name for 14 leading Taiwan-based manufacturers. Currently with operations in North America, South America, Europe, Australia and Africa, Computer World Solution, Inc. has been growing exponentially since its inception in 2001. X2gen, a brand of Computer World Solution, Inc, has also been gaining global presence and achieving recognition as a premier name in the LCD Monitor and LCD TV industries.

Your choices are limited.

Between nearly-no-name X2Gen and Sceptre x22wg, I would go with the Sceptre,
but not with great enthusiasm. Good thing you can easily return it at Costco in case of problems.

As you might have seen in the LCD Buyer's Guide Thread, the LG L226WT is currently the best 22-inch monitor, but it is more expensive.

I see from your sig that you have been interested in buying a used 22-inch monitor. If you want to stay within a specific budget and can wait a few months, prices will keep coming down until the LG, or another top-rated monitor, eventually fits into your budget.

Well, i bought the Sceptre for $215 shipped here on ther FS/FT forums. no dead pixels on the monitor aswell. i figured for that price i cant go wrong, especially since i sold my Acer 19inch WS for $200cash .

thanks for all the help fellas, much appreciated

many x2gen's are ViewEra... and at that stripped down features

Few make their own Panels today -
