Alright I'm on a budget for under $200 and preferably something I can buy at bestbuy (i have gift cards). I need a 19" widescreen 1680 x 1050 with 5ms response time. I will be running a few higher end games on it i.e. bioshock, tf2, bf2142. My video card is a 9600 gt and I'm dual screening with a laptop and I plan on using the larger screen for the games and other high end applications. I don't know anything about contrast ratios, refresh rates or any of that nonsense, so please help with a recommendation. I will spend over $200 if the item is at bestbuy. The two I am eyeballing are: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8725784&type=product&id=1201306973889

I have always had great luck with Viewsonic. I have probably had 20 Viewsonic/Optiquest monitors over the years and every single one was very well constructed and performed beautifully.

+1 for view sonic. Still have a 12 year old viewsonic monitor running in canada. Its ran 24/7 for those 12 years and its still going.
