I'm going to build my new PC within the Next month http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BDQMhM and I want to run a multi-monitor setup. I'm thinking of going with 3 monitors in the long run, but I'll have to buy one, then add the other 2 over time. The monitors need to be under $200. They need to be 1080p. I've come down to 3 different monitors. As of right now, I'm siding with the ASUS Monitor, for it's thin bezels. Plus it has HDMI Output. On the downside it is only has a 23.6 inch screen,but I don't think that will be a problem for me because I'm using a 24" screen now. So there really won't be much of a loss. The other 2 are in fact 27 inch, but since they are cheaper than the 23 inch, it leads me to believe they are cheap for a reason. Should I get the asus?

Hello, nice build!
Selecting a monitor is all up to what you need, and what you will be using it for. If you are looking to seriously game, the Asus is a good option. However the Acer is still good and I tend to favor BenQ. But it really depends on what you are going to be using it for.
