Debating between two monitors

[Gautama]

I'm looking to buy a new 22" monitor. Black levels, backlight bleeding, color reporoduction, and ghosting are all important issues to me. I'm willing to go up to $300, but I've found these two deals:

I know they are different resolutions, but which one offers the better picture?

They both seem to be similar in term of specs, but be aware that both are TN panels so the picture quality won't be as good as IPS or VA panels.

The native resolution seems to be correct on the Dell (1680 x 1050 for a 22"). Basically, either one should be ok. You can do some research on the ghosting, input lag, and backlight bleed of the two monitors but they should be fairly close.

I would take a look at this 22" LG. It is supposed to have very very low input lag and no ghosting.
