Need help deciding between two monitors.

[JJ2380]

I am saving up to upgrade my monitors and i need some help deciding what to buy.

I am looking to have a two monitor setup of whichever monitor I choose. These are the ones I'm looking at, but feel free to throw in some of your own suggestions!


ASUS VX228H Black 21.5":

Here are some specifications if you want to throw in some suggestions:

This is going to be a gaming setup and will be mounted on a 2 display monitor stand.

My computer currently runs on a Nvidia GeForce GT 650M

Resolution at least 1920 x 1080

Refresh Rate at least 60Hz

HDMI Input

Under $175 a monitor (Give or take a few dollars)

out of the two you mentioned I'd probably go with the asus simply because it's cheaper. The speed between 5ms and 1ms is pretty much unnoticeable too and the contrast ratio won't show much of a difference. All in all they'll probably perform similarly so I'd go with the cheaper one. Though looking through newegg they have this monitor on sale http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116650 I'd try and grab that as it's bigger and would probably perform similar to the other two monitors you listed.
