Hey guys. I am looking to buy a new (cheap) monitor very soon (like 2morrow). I came across this 22" Envision G22LWk on sale at CompUsa for only 210$ after rebates. I know the color quality isnt perfect and the built in sound sucks (but i wont be using it). My friend has this monitor and it looks quite good to me. Is there any reason I shouldnt buy this?
Envision? Never heard of that brand. But if your friend doesnt have any problems with it and it looks nice then go for it. Otherwise I would reccomend Viewsonic

Gaming fans get ready to smoke the competition with this Acer 22” 5ms Widescreen LCD Monitor. You will be hard pressed to find a monitor of this caliber with a blazing response time of only 5ms! Hard-core gamers will certainly enjoy the ghost-free gaming experience they’ll get with this stunning value.
This widescreen’s monitor’s features are first-rate. A 1680 X 1050 max resolution, a 700:1 contrast ratio and 300 cd/m² of searing brightness light up the room with magnificent color. In addition to gamers, desktop publishers and graphic designers can run multiple apps, or edit a layout in strikingly vibrant color. This Acer model features a DVI and D-Sub connector port, and is also VESA-compliant for wall mounting, so feel free to showcase this in any room or office. The slim bezel coupled with this monitor’s ultra-contemporary design will look awesome.
I got my 20.1" for $180 from Newegg.

It has a 5ms refresh time, 1680x1050 res, 300cd/m2 brighness, and a 1000:1 contrast ratio. I wasn't sure about the brand, but it was the cheapest 20.1, and i'm happy to say its a great screen.
I got it. A 22" Envision monitor. I have to say its REALLY nice. I do have one issue tho. Windows XP only recognizes a 1600x900 resolution. Its native is supposedly 1680x1050. Is there any way I could fix this?
Just make sure the refresh rate is decent.
