Best 20"-24" $200 monitor right now ?

**ninja|oaklandr** · 06-21-10, 08:09 AM

I just ordered an ASUS 23" 1920x1080 LED backlight LCD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236075

It comes in tomorrow so I will give a short review after I check it out. I'm currently using a 19" Acer with 1440x900 resolution.

What does IPS stand for and mean? The price difference is $130 and I'm not sure what I'm getting in return. The Ultrasharp is also a 22" vs the Dell and Asus 23"s mentioned earlier.

Read what I wrote in your old thread here:

For me the biggest advantage of IPS panels is that they do not suffer from the poor vertical viewing angles of TN panels. On a TN panel, if you look at a single color displayed across the entire screen, it will appear different from top to bottom based on the angle changes from your eye. Read the external link I provided in my posts linked above to see some small advantages of the 2209 for gaming also.

Completely forgot :>. I tried asking for the $200 price on dell's chat but was told price was as listed since I didn't have a reference number. I'll try calling a couple of salesmen once I get back to Tx. For now this is a $300 monitor for me :[.

I think it's worth $300 (actually I think it's worth even more), but it would be hard to pay it knowing it can be had for less than $250. Check ebay as well... some people stockpiled them when the prices were low and are re-selling with a very small markup, I'd guess.

Got the 2209WA for $234 + 8.25% Houston Tax = $253.31 total. If you live in certain states, you might not have to pay tax, since Dell is based in Tx. Message me if you want the details =].
