• Can you guys recommend me a good monitor?

I'm currently using a 19" SCEPTRE monitor for my Xbox 360 right now but I want to upgrade to at least a 23" with 1080 resolution (current one is 1680x1050). My budget is $250 including shipping. I've been looking on Newegg, I found these two: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009179[/url] If those are both good deals I'd prefer the Acer as it seems to have a smaller bezel, but I've never owned Acer or Asus so I don't know if they use quality panels or not... Any help is appreciated.
The Asus. Hands down. Highly unlikely you'll find an affordable SIPS panel these days. More people want bigger monitors for a variety of reasons, TFT/TN is cheap and good enough so they flood the market. They ain't bad tho, perfectly viewable... just make sure you are head on.

^ Got that one for $200. 190 is even better. Get it.
That looks sexy. Alright, but will it do alright playing Xbox 360 games since the recommended resolution is so high?
[QUOTE=Payne IV;19433378]That looks sexy. Alright, but will it do alright playing Xbox 360 games since the recommended resolution is so high?[/QUOTE] Of course. It will run at 1080p if the game supports it.
[QUOTE=Odellus;19433527]Of course. It will run at 1080p if the game supports it.[/QUOTE] 2048x1152 != 1080p I'm not even sure that's 16:9

How many Xbox 360 games actually run at 1080p :v:
2048:1152 = 16:9 And it could scale 1080p up a bit perhaps?

Let me put it in simple terms: You know how in Garry's Mod, you can select your 16:9 resolution? and how there are smaller resolutions than the biggest one your monitor supports? Well if you're using 2048x1152 (which is 16:9 :O), you can move down a selection and choose 1920x1080! Jesus.

They are both good. But I'd go with the Acer one.
