Big ol' 24" for programming

[cinohpa]

Hey,

I'm a college student home for a break on my tiny laptop.

Long story short, I want something big, cheap and as reliable as possible to give me more desktop space when I have computer projects at home.

$50 isn't a huge deal but anywhere in the $200-300. I'm guessing I can get something on the much cheaper side because I don't care too much about specs. I want two things: HD and good quality. Don't care about: viewing angles, ghosting, etc.

Thanks.

@the 250-300 dollar price range you can get a high end 22" TN or a low end 24" TN.

I'm still debating to trade in a good looking 22 for a lesser quality 24, I want 2 more inches and 1080p resolution but I know none of the 24's I get for this price are going to look as good as this T220 I have here =)
