The LG would probably be the better quality, but the Acer is good as well. I have an Acer AL2223W 22" and I love it.

The LG outperforms the Acer due to the 2 ms ultra fast response time. :D

We thought about it and then we decided to spend on a nice vacation. So we are taking a break next weekend. No new monitor:cry: Can't watch HiDef on the new monitor. May be few months later.:banghead:

Thanks.

yeah. Both of us need a break. My kid will be enjoying the most. the walk in the woods, calm and quiet.

I might put it on my BB card and pay it off in 3 months. But what do I do with my 19" BENQ LCD?:eek:

I would say the LG is better in this case if you are looking for something with a good response time or a nice contrast ratio. But Acer are really dependable. Have one myself, the X223WBD and it is quite nice i must say

ok narrowed my search to the following

Option 1. Gateway - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824113011

2. LG - http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cat143700050048&type=product&id=1201913867402

3. Samsung - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001268

4. HP - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176091

I like the fact that Gateway has VGA, DVI, HDMI and Component Video inputs. Later someday I can use this monitor as a small TV in my sons room. Ofcourse I need good speakers.

HP also has VGA and only HDMI. No DVI. They include HDMI cable but I need to buy a DVI to HDMI adapter.

Samsung and LG has little bit better picture. Gateway and HP are comparable but bad either.

I am leaning toward Gateway. Is it good. any suggestions?

Well, the HP and Gateway are not really that different, only gateway has 2 more hook-ups it looks like. I would personally say the LG cuz its cheaper and you have better contrast ration, plus 2 ms response time...but the samsung is also good. so either LG or Samsung id say...but the Gateway is better for HD than the rest.
