    I am looking to get a nice external monitor around 23 inches or so with a budget of $100-175 or so...I have seen some pretty nice ones 1080p with HMDI and all that for around $160-170...keep in mind I have a gift card to BEST BUY so it MUST be bought from there. I was looking in store at a few acers, but what do you guys recommend?

    Honestly? The last few items I've bought from there, I've returned them all.

    So for me, BB is not even in the running (price-wise AND performance/value-wise).

    I'm not saying you can't get something you'll be satisfied with from there - I'm just letting you know that there are much better products available than what BB carries.

    Good luck.

    Well to save money I would still like to get something from BB, but maybe if there is something better on a different site closer to $125 I could do that
