I'm looking to buy a cheap monitor for my system. I am willing to spend up to $200, but the cheaper the better as long as it still has decent quality. Here are a couple I have been looking at:

ASUS VH242H Black 23.6" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 (ASCR 20000:1) Built in Speakers
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052
$169.99 after MIR and promo code

Samsung 2494LW 23.6-inch Black LCD Monitor with Simple Stand

$159.99

I can't find many reviews for the Samsung, but I believe it's almost exactly like the 2494SW, which has good reviews. I'm open to other suggestions, so let me know if there's something better. Thanks.
 
Samsung makes excellent monitors. I've had a few (they are still working fine, but I gave them to family members). and I've found them to be crisp and clear. Another good place to look for a large monitor would be Dell's Outlet Center. I have a 24" 1080p that I got from there for $150 last year.
