    Anyone willing to recommend a Monitor

    Pref:
    1080p res
    at least 20'
    around $170 or lower?
    Widescreen

    I'll be using this as a monitor for my xbox and a second monitor for my m14x response time doesn't really matter

    I was going to suggest the Samsung 2333T, which I have two of, but it seems you can't find them now and they were available just last week.

    It's a bit above your budget, but the Asus ML239H might be worth a look. It's an IPS panel, which should offer good viewing angles and color, but I've not seen it myself. Amazon it pretty good about returns if you don't like it.

    If price is the main concern given those basic requirements, then it'll be hard to beat this Lenovo monitor at Fry's. It's sold out online, but at least as of this afternoon, my friend was able to get one, so some stores still likely have stock.

    I did a ton of research and ended up buying a Dell U2412M (1920x1200, IPS, LED backlight). My original price range was $200ish, but ended up spending $350. After using it and going back to a 20" or 22", they just feel so small.
