    So I'm about to place my order for my new notebook accessories, and I'm down to the monitor. I've narrowed it to these three:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16824236011
    Pros: Asus brand (matches my notebook), looks nice.
    Cons: 700:1 contrast versus 1000:1 on other two. Also has 1 less egg on newegg reviews (4/5)

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16824009111
    Pros: Glossy screen, looks cool. 1000:1 contrast ratio. 5/5 eggs on newegg reviews.
    Cons: Doesn't match the brand of my notebook...?

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001096
    Pros: 1000:1 contrast ratio. Tons of good reviews (5/5) on newegg. Samsung is a great brand.
    Cons: Have heard about trouble between 3 separate types of this model, two of them are cheap and suck, while only one is good...lottery? :( Also doesn't match my G1s (brand) :(

    I don't know which to buy! Help me! Idk if brand matching is a big deal...I just thought it was cool that the Asus one matched my G1s and it had the same looks as well, which is cool. Also Asus is a solid brand and I like them a lot.

    Anyways, late night trollers, please help me!

    All 3 will look about the same. I recomend staying away from 22" tho its sort of an odd ball size. With one of the weekly dell cupons you can get a 2407 for just abit more and will like that much better.

    I also recomend you not be hasty and HAVE to order now. Your notebook will have its own screen till you do the time to research the perfect monitor :p

    Please go to widescreengamingforum.com/forum

    we have ALOT of user reviews on diffrent panels and its a place where you can get answers and ask questions for anything monitor related.

    Most populor monitors right now:

    the 24" Dell
    the 24" Benq (my personal favorite)
    the 37" Westinghouse
    the 20" NEC

    24' generally uses better panels as well. I got my Acer 24' for $380 so look around for good deals.

    Your welcome, I am one of the people who have adopted the 37" Westinghouse I LOVE it!!! Every day when I get home I am so happy to see that thing.

    Gaming is much more immersive and watching movies is so much better, its kind of like having my own personal imax theater at home.
