i am gettin a new monitor here in like a week and i have been shopping around ...

i have found http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009125
does ACER make good monitors? i have owned 3 samsung monitors and 1 hyundai ... but never an ACER so would this be a good monitor to get?

im using it for gaming which i do a lot of ... so i dont want anything that has been rumored to ghost either :)

soooooo lets hear some ideas on monitors :)
i want a 22-24in .... under $400
 
no. i dont like that one. i had an ace before, it didn't have a sharpness option.
i recommend the BenQ T241W 24".
 
I have an Acer 22" and couldn't be happier with it.
I've read great things about that 24", amazing bang for your buck.
 
Input lag seems a bit elevated for hard core gaming:

The X243 seems better. Stay away from NewEgg. Their monitor policies are crap. You need 8 dead pixels to return it to them.

I bought the BenQ G2400WD, had it about 4 days. It is the best looking monitor I have ever had. No backlight bleeding, great colors etc. I had previously bought and returned 15 monitors, The BenQ is by far the best out of all the brands i tried ( Acer, Soyo, Samsung, Dell,LG, Westinghouse)
 
Glad to hear that your 15 monitor trek ended at 16 :)

Best of luck!

i bought my BenQ from buy.com 350 shipped 2 days

I play Everquest, TF2, HL2 etc. all run better than any of the previous monitors.
 
I just got a KDS k-24mdwb for 329.00 andcouldn't be happier. Beautiful bright display runs 1080 p with my ps 3 ,1920x 1200 at 5ms plenty fast. Best of all no defective pixels, cant say that no defective pixels will always happen its luck of the draw on that. comes with lots of cables including hdmi to dvi. 2 vga and one dvi input and built in speakers which i'm not using at the moment. This unit looks very nice sitting on my desk too.
 
If you are buying a Benq I suggest you buy from their official store and use the promo code thankyou10 for a 10% off discount. I did that when I bought my V2400W. And as 10e said, stay away from newegg for a monitor. Thier return policies for dead pixels is no good at all
 
I was thinkign about the V2400W as i read all the reviews here and elsewhere and seemed it and the G2400WD stacked up pretty similar, with the price difference, I'd go with G2400WD. I didn't buy the V2400W for 3 reasons 1) I can't stand how the stand is off centered, even if the monitor was even across it would drive me nuts. 2) V2400W is unmountable 3) 100 bucks less for similar monitor = win
