I've been looking for a monitor for several months now. Just been on and off on the research, but now that I'm in xmas break, I think it's time to finally decide!
My brother recently bought a Samsung 24" (forget the model #) from Newegg and it turned out to have 4 dead pixels. Unfortunately, Newegg's policy says he cannot return or exchange it unless it has 8 or more.
With that being said, I'm a little cautious buying from Newegg. My current monitor, a 19" Optiquest (yeah it's crappy I know) also has dead pixels x3 and it was purchased from Newegg...Just bad luck =(
I've been researching at a local Bestbuy for the best deals and I have my eyes on a couple and I was looking to see which one would be the best for movies/gaming:
1.

I'm also not sure why #1 is more expensive than #3. The LG227WTG seems to have 22" viewing screen size while W224 has a slightly less 21.6".
I also noticed neither of these have a HDMI port, but I believe you can get an adapter for this?
Thanks for any input fellaz!
