You will not find anything new that is good for $300 unless you don't mind TN panels.
Stick with Kuellers advice look for a used screen or save more money and buy something better.
I have a 24" ASUS TN panel monitor and think it is great. I look at it as owning a car, just because someone cant afford a BMW, does not mean a Ford is not a great car.
OK, from what I've seen online, 1920 x 1080 @ 2ms or 1920 x 1200 @ 5ms?

Go for 1920x1080 because thats the gaming standard. All games doenst support 16:10 and you will get black bars from time to time. Also you get smaller Field of view.
I would buy 27" 1920x1080. 27" is really nice ecpecially for gaming.
Because for some reason people think that loosing 120 pixels and having a shorter screen affects image quality, when in reality it makes no difference except in size.
No because it reduces usable area, which for some things does help and/or matter. It doesnt mean dick for image quality.
Side by side pages for instance.
If I had a choice between 1920x1080 or 1920x1200 in the same size screen I'd go 1920x1200 every time for the usable area.
I picked up the Asus VE278Q about a month ago. Very nice monitor for the money. Also picked up a Huey Pro for ~$55. The monitor looks even better when calibrated.
Prad.de also reviewed the ve278q, you can try their settings. Use google chrome to translate
This is correct, but some Google translating may be necessary to read the article. I have also posted in the VE278Q section of the Prad forums. Off the top of my head settings are as follows:
Standard Mode
Contrast - 80
Brightness - 33
Red Blue Green - 95 100 92
I'll update the color settings when I get off work. These settings are calibrated for 6500 and 140 cd/m2, which still seem a bit bright to me. I use Brightness = 30 to hopefully get closer to 120 cd/m2.

Size is more important for gaming than any other factor. I'd choose 27" 1920x1080 over 24" 1920x1200 all other things being equal.
