I'm looking for a new monitor, 22-24" (wide, obviously) and somewhere in the $200-$300 range.

Any decent options?

That's the monitor I have, and it's fantastic. But, the one linked above looks pretty solid.

I got this too. My only problem is whenever I knee my desk or something, the screen wobbles. Pretty shitty stand it comes with. Awesome screen though.

Yeah, the stand is shitty. I don't feel like it's going to break or anything.. it's just wobbly. Awesome picture though.

Yes I did. And since I live like 3 miles from a shipping center it will come today. Free one-day shipping is awesome. :cool:

......I have too much screen space..............

LOL, no, but seriously, just set it up. Went from a 17 inch (4:3) VGA to this DVI. Jesus Christ, it is awesome.

You guys are awesome, this was more than worth the money. Not one dead pixel, either! :D

Now, once I get my new system (finally ordered one based on what I had up before) by Thursday I am going to be rocking.
