Choosing a new 22" monitor

[DokmanD]

Im shopping for a nice 22" monitor next, does anyone have any suggestions??? I hate Samsungs so any other. I did see a couple I liked:

HP L2245W 22" TFT Monitor 1680 x 1050 300 cd/m2 1000:1 5 ms 16:9 DVI-D/VGA Carbonite
LG L227WT 22" TFT LCD Monitor 1680x1050 5000:1 2ms DVI/VGA
Hyundai ImageQuest N220W-A 22" LCD Monitor 1680x1050 5ms 16:9
Iiyama PLE2201W-B1 22" LCD Widescreen Monitor 1680x1050 1000:1 300cd/m2 2ms

Does anyone own one of these or have they used one???

If you have any other reasonable suggestions please let me know??? Any help whould be appreciated.

LG btw 1680x1050 is not 16:9 but 16:10

The LG is the most expencive here in the UK, anout £230. Is it really worth nearly £100 more compared to the Hyundai??? Any other recommendations anyone could think of??? How about:

Philips 220XW8FB/00

Asus VW222S at around 170 quid is worth a look too,link.

I second the Asus. Thats what I settled on and couldn't be happier.

I had a look a the ASUS and yes its not bad at all and the price is good, I think its £166 on SCAN but next to it I saw the model up the 24" MK241H which is £350, I admit a lot more expencive but has the improved resolution and the inbuilt camera, and I think a better panel. Has anyone tried one of these???

I also came across the Hannspree 'Verona' 22" which is going for about £150 and comes highly recommended by anyone that bought it.

At the moment Im using a 17" ancient lcd and am desperate for something bigger. I use it to watch movies and play games, some university work etc etc. Do you guys think it rally is worth getting a top of the range monitor or is a deascent spec one for a good price recommended??? Also is there any point really getting the 24" rather than the 22"???

I have just built a new rig and want it to last a couple of years at least. All advice is welcome.
