Which one of these monitors should I get
Hi all,
I'm getting a new monitor, it won't be my main so I decided to go cheap. Which one of these would you get? I'm asking because I'm having a very hard time to decide. They are all in the same price category.

All of those show out of stock on newegg. I know it's not a primary, but you should buy this one: Dell UltraSharp U2412M Black IPS Panel 24" 8ms Pivot, Swivel & Height Adjustable LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 DC 2,000,000:1 (1000:1) - Newegg.com
It is similar to what you have listed except it is 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080. The extra 120 pixels of height makes a huge difference. I have one and it is the best monitor I have ever used. I prefer it to my 27.5" Haans G 1920x1200 (which is sadly no longer being sold).
Edit: Looks like Amazon sells them. The LG has $30 shipping, so I would go with the Samsung. The Acer doesn't have any reviews. I have used several Samsung monitors and they are fantastic.When you go the extra mile, there's no traffic. -

For a second monitor, just get whatever you can find on sale if you don't care about the image quality. Or look for something on craigslist.
I have an older 19" Dell as my second monitor and it's actually much better for reading than my primary widescreen monitor. -

I should have mentioned that they are all on sale for $129 (Canada).Goal 2013: CCENT (x); CCNA(x); Security+(x); ITIL Foundation ( ) -

I have 4 Samsung monitors and I like them. For $129 - that does seem like a great deal. My only gripe is that the power button is located on the bottom edge so if you stack your monitors, it's a bit of a pain. But the narrow bezel on the monitors is nice.
