Thumbs up The best 22" LCD monitor for $320?!!

Hi all,

Im new here and have been researching monitors for weeks now. I am going to buy 2, 22" LCD monitors and dual them for one pc.
I am a graphic design student so i will be using it for work and university everyday and I play alot of games and watch alot of movies.
I have budgeted around $320-350 for each monitor.

After researching myself i have become very confused but from the research I am pretty sure I want 2ms and a good contrast ratio, dont need integrated speakers or webcam just a damn good screen.

Any help would much be appreciated!!

Ben Wilson

thnx for all the replys,

My system specs arent a problem as im spending 1600 on the computer parts alone. Graphics card not sure yet maybe a Radeon 4 series or something nice.

Also i am a graphics designer so will need colour accuracy with the screen.

Any other suggestions?

Im Australian by the way.

Cheers

Well I suggested that you can have a look at the Samsung T220, it has a 20000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, 2 ms response time, 300 cd/m² brightness,1680 x 1050 maximum resolution. You can read the reviews for it:
