    Need monitor recommendation for a friend.

    Hello guys,

    I know nothing about monitors, but I was wondering if you could help me out since somebody asked me about a monitor recommendation.

    Most important and foremost is budget which is around $200. Monitor will be used primarily for watching movies with occasional gaming. Person is looking for as much screen as they can get in the $200 range (reliable, good picture etc is assumed).

    Thanks.

    Before I get hit with the "google it" stick, I did, but I want to see your input as well since the google search didnt really provide me enough input with these parameters.

    AMD Phenom 2 X4 : 955 BE
    Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P
    4GB DDR3 Corsair 1333
    XFX Radeon 4890 1GB
    320GB Western Digital RE3
    1 TB Western Digital Black
    750W Corsair PSU
    Thermaltake Armor+ MX Case
    NEC DVD-RW 3520
    Razer Copperhead Mouse
    Windows 7 Pro
