Ya I turned down the brightness and messed with some settings and it looks ok but still grainy. I like the colors and everything when playing games but websites look weird. I also sit 3-4 feet away from my monitor. 24" is a lot to take in from that close and the graininess is quite evident. I'd like to find an awesome, say, 20-22 in to use. If not though, 23 or 24 in will suffice! Glossy monitors look way better. I'm gonna try to get an IPS panel, that Acer is said to have great colors and it's an IPS. I heard it has some horrible input lag, supposedly 16ms but other people say it's fine. So it's hard to go by, I know every review said this ASUS VN247H-P was good or people said they had dead pixels, which I have. So I guess I've got to do trial and error. I just wish I lived where a lot of good monitors were in stock. It's 45 mins to the nearest Best Buy :(
