I'm planning on getting this Acer monitor, and I want to know what you guys think about it.

This will be my primary gaming monitor, I will also use it for my PS3 and 360.

Thanks for your help.

it looks good but what about this one, I always hear people going on about how you need at the bare minimum 1000 contrast ratio but I dont know any thing about monitors just making a suggestion. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001096

I would wait for some one with more knowledge about monitors though before making a purchase.

I actually own this monitor and have to say I'm quite happy with it. Yes, the specs aren't the best but for the price, can't complain. Also, I have heard of people complaining about light bleeding from behind it but I haven't noticed anything of the sort. The best thing to do though is look at all of your options and then select the best. If this happens to be it (Mine at the time) then go for it.

Yeah, I just got the X221WSD Acer 22" at Best Buy for $190 on sale from $320. I haven't hooked it up yet because my CPU isn't finished :P

But I couldn't pass on that price.
