Now I know pretty much any time anybody posts anything in this forum involving buying a new product or comparing products, people just post "look at the sticky threads" or "go back through the old threads". Right now the search function does not appear to be working on here so unless you want to give me a link to the exact thread, please don't just post a msg telling me to go back a few pages. I haven't been able to find any comparisons, but I am looking at getting this display. I'm not an expert, but to me it seems like a no brainer! It's $339 at the Egg, sports a 4000:1 contrast, 2ms respnse time, and lots of good reviews. I know, it's a TN and supposedly TN's suck, and say what you will about glossy finish, but if anybody has any better suggestions on a 24" for under $400 that's better I am open to any suggestions. I will be doing a lot of gaming on this as well as the usual stuff. Some media, ect. I would like to be able to watch Blu-Rays and x264 rips mostly for testing before being sent to my LG 42LB5D. One thing I really like in a display is brightness and vivid colors (duh!) so let me know if there is anything that would trump this even if it's a refurb. I might even consider a 22" if the performance is that much better!

Don't waste your money. I've got the Sceptre X22WG and it sucks. I mean, it seemed like a good deal but the panel is sub-par (bad viewing angles), the DVI port blew out after a few weeks, hard to adjust. Just an all around disappointment (expect for the look and the price). In terms of functionality, I wish I had spent the extra $50 and got a real brand. If you are really strapped for cash it is not the worst monitor (I'm still using it) but I really wish I hadn't got cheap w/ the screen.
