Monitor Selection Advice

[Unoriginal Name]

I recently purchased parts to put together a new system and I am in need of help selecting a good monitor. I am pretty limited on what I can get though. I am looking for a 22" monitor but it has to be from Best Buy so that I can use some gift cards I have from there.

My video card is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161178

I also have a video capture card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16815129006

Based on those two cards which monitor at Best Buy would be the best choice? Here are my choices.

Acer - 22" Widescreen Flat-Panel LCD HD Monitor
Model: P221WBD SKU: 8470282 $299.99

I can't compare between them, but I have a Samsung 19" widescreen and it's been great for me. The others could be good too, just have no experience. My HDTV is a Vizio, so off brands can be great too.

I'd go with the Gateway. HD monitor, widescreen. Can double as an emergency TV if need be. I'm an employee, and I love that monitor and so do our customers. Great value. Just my opinion. Goto one of our stores and see for yourself. That's the best advice that I can give.

Re: Monitor Selection Advice

I 100% agree with Kalon, I'd go with the Gateway 22" as well. I've been to Best Buy several times and it's def. the best looking monitor there IMO. The only reason I ain't bought it yet is I'm looking to buy a new PC and i'll get the monitor with the PC.
