For $150 you're probably getting either a really some MVA/IPS panel or the usual middlesized but mediocre quality TN panels.

Id like it to be wide screen (most of them are), the res. will depend on the size so I want something between 20 and 24 again depending on the price.. I dont know the difference between mva ips and tn but Im reading about it now!

First time I actually agree with you. Dell makes the best monitors [for the price]. You can get a 21 inch from dell for only 100 dollars if you wait until they have a deal, which is like twice a month. I always get emails from them with coupon codes and monitors for really low price. If you don't want a Dell, Samsung is the way to go for monitors. They are pretty cheap and really well built. I have one in front of me right now. 19 inch for only 80 dollars. Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/22770-new-monitor/#findComment-267019

I can sacrifice 1.5 inch for 50000:1 contrast ration, a 2 ms response time and HDMI port and $20 or go with 23" for $20 bucks cheaper and no hdmi.. Somebody tells me whats they thinks is best...Im not sure..im sort of noob here Link to comment https://forums.steam-gamers.net/topic/22770-new-monitor/#findComment-267186
