Default Which monitor (Small list)

I am heading down to Best Buy to return my ACER monitor that has bad color quality and an offset screen that will not adjust. So heres what I am considering.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+21....&skuId=9278569

Pros:Great reviews, people say it looks great, and thats what i'm after, TFT.

Cons:Slightly smaller than I wanted (By .5 inches) Low contrast ratio.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+23%...&skuId=9251329

Pros:23 inches, good reviews, TFT

Cons:No DVI, price may delay my ability to get L4D+L4D2 pack.



Thats it..I planned more..but Best Buy lacks monitors with speakers so..yeah

Go with the 23. You can always "try" out L4D2 with a download. Larger screen and better contrast ratio is always good. Do you have to buy from bestbuy though? You could order larger and better for cheaper. The asus vh233h is also nice and sold at bb

BB preferred for fast RMA, I am very picky lol. I am basically there worst nightmare. I mean I don't even feel comfy talking to them though, because once I bought a laptop and it had a dead pixel and they where trying to talk me into keeping it, and I was like 'Hell no, I spent my $600 in Christmas money on this, it better be perfect'..Well I actually just kept it for 2 more days then returned it :/.
