I am not a computer guy at all. I'm not a HUGE gaming person but am trying to set up my old home theater PC in the new house just to have it useable. Mostly use my laptop anyways, but figured I might as well set it up. Just want a new monitor in the 23-27" size

What is some good options? Trying to stay under $300. What should I be looking for? Don't need 3D on it

$30 gift card promo ends today, but from what I hear this is a badass monitor. Check out the resolution!

Stay away from this one, it is only 1080, thats fine for your TV, but not your computer. Go with the monitor in the first link or the Dell model # 2412 from Dell of course.

1920x1080 is fantastic for me and 1/3 of the price of the dell. Like I said for the price its a great monitor.

I just use a Dynex 32" hdtv with my rig. Plays everything great resolution, you just need a good video card to get it to work awesome, since its a slightly abnormal size in native res.
