    New monitor? 20-22"

    Had my 22" viewsonic widescreen burn out the other night and I'm in the market for a new monitor. I'm in the market for a new gaming monitor.

    Budget: $200 (ideally under)
    Goals: 3ns or better (I do not want ghosting or laggy response), high brightness (300cdma ideally) and crisp color.

    I'm not really overly concerned with the viewing angle.

    any suggestions? conjecture?

    thanks!

    I bought the 24" version of that Asus and am really happy with it, especially at that price.

    thanks, guys. I wound up taking a bit of a gamble and getting an AOC v22 from their "wled" line (led backlight)
    I was bobbling back and forth between an led backlight monitor like the aoc / lg or the asus. I read some good reviews about the hanns-g as well.

    only disappointment is the lack of a dvi input, but I guess that's really not a big complaint given it has an hdmi in.

    now lets see how it comes together when my his 4890 turbo+ gets here.

    edit: ouch, I just realized how old my signature is!
