I thought was a great deal, and I knew the brand was very high quality. I was tempted to go the cheaper route and get the 200 22" Acer best buy had on sale.... But I like the contrast ratio on this one.

I also picked this up so I can hook my video game consoles up to my monitor, I like this because it basically turns my monitor into another TV so when my little brother or someone want to play games but the TV is in use they can.

Yeah that's pretty good, though I do think you could have found a deal for about $230 if you searched.

I got a 2500:1 Acer 22" for $170...but I had to wait outside Circuit City from 9 pm to 4 am on a freezing night...so there's the trade-off hehe.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

That's a pretty good monitor for the price. But I'd suggest, if you can afford it, to go for a 24-inch or better. For example:

YOu've been fooled, that 3000:! contrast ratio is dynamic meaning in reality its about 600:1 native. Should have gone for a Dell, 800:1 native contrast ratio similar price for a 22"
