Which of these 4 22"LCD's?

[redwolf71]

My 19" CRT is dying. I have a somewhat tight budget for a 22" LCD monitor to replace it. It will be mainly used for gaming (combat flight sims & football) and perhaps a movie or two. I have a radeon 1950Pro that I won't be able to upgrade for some time.

Which of these monitors within my budget do you think is best?

Acer X223WBD 5ms 1680x1050:

Sceptre X22HG-Naga 2ms 1680x1050:

Samsung SyncMaster 2243SWX 5ms 1920x1080:

Asus VW224u 2ms 1680x1050:

This will be my first LCD. I am leaning towards the Asus one, but I am hearing good things also about the Acer one.
Thanks for any help.

Take a look at the 1920x1080 monitors. In some cases they actually appear cheaper than the 1680x1050 these days. Maybe it has to do with standardization to 16:9 lowering costs?

I have a radeon 1950Pro that I won't be able to upgrade for some time.

I think it might be safer to stick with lower 1680x1050 res panels for now if you are not gonig to upgrade your video card for awhile.

I have the Asus VW246H (24" 1920X1080) and personally think its a very good TN LCD,as to your list I would probably go with the Acer or Asus.

take a look at the benQ E2200HD, i got one a few weeks ago and its great for the price, awesome for gaming as it has a really low response time. Its in your budget i got mine onsale for $209 at NCIX.

This shouldn't having any effect on the resolution you are shopping for.....as long as you can play games in a lower resolution window (ie, a native pixel size)

Plus the extra resolution can be nice for desktop uses. (surfing internet, spreadsheets-which I don't use myself, viewing documents side by side)

I wouldn't base my decision on a new monitor on what graphics card I have either. I did that with my laptop and I seriously regret doing that. For gaming, it's ok, but, for normal use, the resolution 1280x800 is too small.

Went with the Acer x223W and am very happy with it. Thanks for all the advice.
