Decent 22" Widescreen with thin bezel?

[Unknown-One]

I've been looking around for some decent 22" widescreen monitors with thin bezels to go into a triple-monitor configuration. Going for as little gap between the panels as possible.

Looking to spend around $200 per-monitor, currently have my sights set on

, but I'm not sure how good a panel it is.

Look at this Acer AL2216WBD 22" for $180 at your local Best Buy. Or this Acer X223WBD 22" for $170 at Costco online. It may not have the thinnest bezel but for $180/$170 and the ability to return the monitors at your local Best Buy/Costco store is pretty good.

I bought the Acer X223WBD for someone because of the price. It is actually a lot thinner than I thought it would be.

The AL2216WBD is looking rather tempting, TigerDirect has it for $149

How's image quality on that panel though? I'm currently running a ChiMei CMV 221D NSC, would the AL2216WBD be comparable?

I purchased the Asus VW222U last month and I love it. The VW224U is the exact same monitor.The VW222U is a discontinued model and this one replaces it. The only difference is that the 222 has 16.2m colors and the 224 has 16.7m. I read an article that reviewd several 22" monitors and the 222 won the award for the best among the group. The Samsung would've won but it was in the $300 range. It's a "true" 2ms response monitor(actually a record breaker), according to their findings. The bezel is roughly 5/8".

In my opinion you can't go wrong with the Asus, and at that price,it's a steal.
