Default What's a good 22" monitor?

Well, I asked this very question on here a few months back, and the answer was 226bw but that's been discontinued and become almost impossible to find. (well, I did find one, but the deal fell through)

So now I need to find a different one. Here's what I want: 2ms response time, no bleeding (or so little it's virtually unnoticeable), good color reproduction, and a decent res. I don't need speakers. I think it'd be nice if the monitor I get can maintain the aspect ratio, like if I go fullscreen with a 4:3 video it'll just have black bars on the sides. I'd prefer if it had a non-glossy screen too.

Here are the one's I'm looking at currently:
Samsung 2253BW
LG L226WTY
ASUS VW222U

One other question I had: I was in Best Buy a little while ago looking at the monitors there, and the guy kept telling me I needed one with 1:1 pixel mapping if I want anything to look good. I looked it up online and it sounds good for certain things, but not like something I'd want. I want my videos to be fullscreen, if any of these monitors have 1:1 pixel mapping can it be simply turned off?

Thanks
