Good 1920x1080 monitors

[Atotalnoob]

Hey guys, I am trying to find a balance of a good high res monitor and price.... doesn't really matter with periferals, except it needs to have hdmi. I have two in mind http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009179&nm_mc=AFC-SlickDeals&cm_mmc=AFC-SlickDeals-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA and http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=n82e16824009157

Dell 23 and Asus 23 monitors are 1080p, usually have hdmi, and cost ~$170-$180.

Btw, hdmit is pointless unless you have built in speakers in your monitor. And I'd rather have regular DVI with the monitor, and use actual separate speakers anyways since built in monitor speakers are usually not the best out there.

I said I didn't really care about that. I know monitor speakers suck. ;D. Forgot to mention, radeon 5830 is my GPU

besides I have a headset, and play games that use voice, so I'd never use the speakers.

Ya, except you said it in a way that means you don't care about any peripherals except hdmi, meaning you do want hdmi. :lol:

Anyways, Dell has 23 inch monitors on sale at the moment for ~$170 + tax iirc. I have one myself, with VGA and DVI connectors. The one on sale has a few USB and 1 HDMI ports as well iirc (no speakers, just the port). Either way, Dell monitors are usually pretty good and you can use your stand alone speakers.

Well, I allso meant for you to look at the links above ^ ;D

21.5 inch monitors are kinda small for 1080p imo, 21.5 inch is more suited for 1680x1050 resolution imo. The $200 ASUS monitor is decent, but you can get cheaper monitors without built in speakers - since you don't need em and that will save you some $$$

ok, what size monitor do you recommend? 27 in? If so I thought those started at 250?

IMO, the best 1920 x 1080 monitors are actually 1920 x 1200 monitors

the extra 120 pixels at bottom of screen is great .... having the extra room allows easy access to desktop and taskbar while playing or watching movies at 1920 x 1080

Here's a favorite for $280:

I bet it does, but I don't want to spend 100 dollars for 120 pixels, and 3 inches.... =/. Though, it is a good price for the size, I was looking for 27 in, and they are up there, I'll think about it.

any thoughts on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236080R&cm_re=27_inch_lcd_monitor-_-24-236-080R-_-Product ? I know it has speakers, I can't find one without, in my price range. I looked on Amazon, Tigerdirect, dell and overstock, and the best I can find is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052&Tpk=ASUS%20VH242H Looks like a good monitor...

 

[Atotalnoob]

either one of those, or the top two....
edit: or surprise me with a suggestion.

It's not an extra 120 pixels. It's an extra 230,400 pixels. 120*1920.
