    Sorry if this is the wrong section, but currently, I want to get a monitor for my Desktop and Laptop. The hardest part in deciding is that the LG D2342P-PN monitor has passive 3D and comes with glasses and I won't need nVidia's rip off glasses and GPU(s) and it will work for games and such but the 3D isn't good, but still, I don't mind ghosting. The Acer G234HBbd is cheaper and bigger, but doesn't have any fancy aspects to it but the reviews say it is sturdy and has excellent quality and it looks pretty flash. The ViewSonic VX2268WM has a 120Hz refresh rate and has 3D (I think the 3D is only compatible with nVidia vision) and has built in speakers; HOWEVER, the reviews say it has build problems and LED backlight bleeding (Light coming out of the bottom and joints). The Hanns-G HH-281HPB has a HUGE screen (28 inch :eek:) and it has crap built in-speakers. Price can't be above $320 US dollars. Rep+ to anyone who helps me out even with a bit of info. And if anyone else can give me a link to a 3D monitor that doesn't use nVidia's vision technology, please give me the link and I prefer NewEgg because that's where I like buying my stuff ;)

    I would buy the Acer because it sounds like itÂ’s the cheapest and has best quality. I think speakers in a monitor are just a gimmick. Better to buy a good quality monitor and good quality speakers separately then have an all in one package that is rubbish!

    I agree with you there, but the 3D and 120Hz monitor, 3D passive monitor and 28inch monitor really rule out the Acer monitor, apart from looks, which the Acer pwns at. I'm still confused. Screen size or passive 3D or 120Hz? Speakers don't really make a monitor.
