What would be the best monitor, used primarily for gaming, for about ~$200? Probably in the 23" or 24" category

I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

I recommend Hannspree By HannsG SL231DPB
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824262012
on newegg they are priced at $150 with $9 shipping.
This is the best budget 23" I have bought at a cheap price.
Since things change a lot, check out this website to get a general idea:

Looks like Asus VS248h-p is on sale for 179.99. Good deal?

Ok first off let me start off by saying this monitor has a phenomenal picture. It looks spectacular. There is no blacklight bleeding and it is very uniform from what I can see. It looks great in person and also looks wonderful in games.(So far I have only played Bad Company 2 on it)
Now on to the cons. This monitor does indeed have this "ghosting" issue people keep talking about on the VE series monitors. What I am seeing is a bright trail following certain darker colored objects. Is it a deal breaker? For me no it is not. I am a very picky person and I notice every little flaw and honestly this doesn't bother me. The only time I can even see it is if I take a browser window and start dragging it around like mad and then I still haft to look closely. I full well expected this issue to drive me mad, but to be honest I can live with it. Especially considering how great this monitor looks.
Anyway that is my review and you can make your own decision. If you have any questions just let me know.
Update: Ok I have put some time on BC2 on this monitor and I gotta say this thing is absolutely amazing. The picture in that game is absolutely night and day compared to my old HP W2207H. I am absolutely in love with this monitor.
