Thats a good choice, also the consider the ASUS MK241H or the Acer P243WAid, both preform good for the price.

how is your hanns g 28" I was highly considering that but I heard things about being able to see pixels because its 1900x1200 and pixel density being low.

I've heard the Lenovo L220x is a good monitor it's 22in but still 1920x1200.

My next purchase is a 24" as well. I was looking at the Samsung 245T (its an S-PVA panel, not the lower end TN)
