I'd recommend a full resolution (1920x1080) 16:9 shaped monitor. Something like the following: -
Asus VH226H ViewSonic VX2260WM

Is that US dollars?
You can get an Acer X243HQ (very important to get the exact model name correct, example for Acer is the X243HQ is the high end model, V243HQ the budget) The X243HQ is going for as low as $256 in Australia ($296 without the Acer Cashback), that in US dollars is around $190. I should mention thats a 23.6 (24) inch monitor, 16:9 so good for movies |

I have an Asus VW222U myself, looking online places around the world are still selling them even though they are an old model now. At the time it was an exceptional monitor, although newer monitors are better. The Asus 26 inch suggested by someone on here would be very good, but price wise may not be an option.
I have seen the Acer 24 inch monitors, they are really nice, but I haven't used one myself for any length of time. I believe you have to adjust the brightness etc manually yourself on the monitor, just like the Asus monitors (they are often too bright)! From what I've heard, stay clear of Benq. Out of TN panels, really only the Excel series (X series) Acer and Asus it what i'd recommend. |

Thankfully, monitors offering a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels are getting more common... Long term, it's definitely the way to go

If one of the intention's is to play Blu-ray movies, then personally I can't see the point of having a monitor with a resolution higher than 1920x1080, as some form of upscaling pixel interpolation will have to take place...

BTW if *space* is not an issue, you shouldn't limit yourself to 22" given prices these days. I already want to move from my 24" 1920x1200 and get a 30" 2560x1600 for video editing reasons. |
