    I'd suggest the Acer, I've seen bad reviews for Sceptre products before. Personally I went with a Samsung, but they're kind of expensive.

    I agree with the above. The Samsung Syncmasters are pretty nice.

    Yeah, if it weren't for the high price I'd definitely go with a Samsung. I have a 19" ViewSonic LCD that's lasted me really well, but I think it's time to upgrade to widescreen.

    Lol I have been using a 19" HP because my old 17" died on me and its only a 8 months old. Gonna be awhile before I switch to 22" or higher.

    I say get a Samsung Syncmaster. I got a 19inch one and it was definitely worth the price. Out of those ones I would go with Acer.

    The Acer has a higher contrast ratio for better colors and the small difference in response time won't be noticeable.

    They are awesome monitors. I second this.

    But.


    If you have a PS3/360 and want to use it with your monitor, I suggest a 24" so you have 1080p. Or if you just want to watch movies on it.

    I would go with the Acer hard to beat for the price.
