My head hurts. Monitors are a total pain in the ass to shop for. I've been reading for hours and essentially all I've discovered is that I'm screwed no matter what I buy.
The problem is I can't stand matte screens. I have a dark room so I want something to maximize my colours in such an environment -- all signs point to glossy! I use a glossy screen on my laptop right now and I absolutely prefer it.
Anyway, I don't know if anyone's willing to provide suggestions, but this is basically what I want:
Under $300 USD (MAX!)
Glossy
1920x1080
22-25"
Appropriate for gaming
HDMI
Speakers/Remote are bonuses
No Acers
It doesn't seem to exist. Asus monitors seem to be very well regarded but are matte which is a deal breaker for me.
The Monitor I linked above has all those specifications. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001341) Even has speakers and a remote.
I was asking about it since it was much cheaper than I expected for something that looks to be what I want to get. ($230) I'm not sure why it is so cheap. It is Glossy, 23", 1920x1080, has appropriate refresh rate for games, HDMI input, Speakers, remote, and is Samsung - not Acer (SAMSUNG 2333HD High Glossy Black 23")
