So, I'm looking to pick up a new monitor, nothing crazy though. My GPU is pretty weak right now—an NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512 MB DDR3—so I can't really justify anything with a massive resolution. Checking out some shops in Washington, D.C. like Links or ADM... Thanks in advance 😛

Whatever, just make sure it's at least 20 or 22 inches, because those 19" ones kind of suck due to the low resolution. I guess try to find one with a DVI port if you can.
As for resolutions... most things are Full HD now, so it feels pretty pointless to buy anything less than Full HD.

What do you think about these two? They’re a bit pricier, sure, but maybe it's worth shelling out the extra cash...

No, I really don't need a 22". I'm currently rocking an 8-year-old CRT, so anything slim is already an upgrade over this... A 19" would be plenty for me at 1366x768 resolution. Honestly, I think it's smarter to grab a smaller, high-quality monitor rather than some cheap 22" unit made with bottom-tier components. Looking at what's available from retailers like Best Buy or brands like ADM, which one would be my best bet for these specs?

Honestly, all those cheap ones are basically the same quality anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Just make sure it has dual inputs and it's LED:

It’s too small and way overpriced, which isn't how you shop when there are better options out there,😁 so for that kind of cash you can get a 22-inch monitor for roughly $267 plus a little extra, and since it has a DVI connection, you won't have any issues. That AOC model from earlier tonight is the smarter move, and even if it costs slightly more than $267, it's definitely worth it.😉🙂

I told the guy in my last post he should just grab the 22 because buying anything smaller is honestly a joke... but I guess if he doesn't want a bigger 🙂
