Help finding a monitor?

[pugboy1321]

So I need a little guidance on a new monitor to replace this 1366x768 VGA-only TV mess, but there are so many options and I have a very limited budget.

 

It will be used for video/photo editing and casual computering with a lot of video watching.

Budget (USD): $100-160 (possibly up to $200 if the higher price is worth it)

 

Requirements:

 

- Available new from Amazon (US), Newegg, Micro Center

- 1080p (or 1920x1200, but that seems out of my price range)

- Matte

- Decent color (or at least color that isn't tragically horrid)

- VESA mounting holes (or an adjustable stand that elevates the monitor to a decent height)

- At least one DVI or HDMI port

 

Preferred brands:

 

- Dell

- Asus

- LG
- Acer

 

Monitors I'm considering:

 

- ASUS VE247H

- LG 24M38H-B

- Asus VE228H

- LG 23MP47HQ

- Dell SE2416HX (only thing it doesn't have is the VESA mount)

 

If there is a monitor that has everything except the VESA mount I might be able to deal with that.

 

Thanks in advance, forum people!

A possible Match for your requirements is the LG 25" Ultrawide 21:9 Full Hd Monitor

Screen resolution: 2560x1080

Input: HDMI

Matte black Screen

Black Casing and stand

I think it has the VESA mounting holes from the photos

 

This monitor is great for what you are using it for because Photo/video editing is better on an ultrawide display because it improves productivity.(which is what everyone wants)

Thanks for your help! I actually considered that, but then I remembered that my main computer (Mid 2009 MacBook used as a desktop connected to various peripherals) can't output anything past 1920x1200 (My laptop could, but the inconvenience of disconnecting and connecting to all the peripherals all the time would be annoying). Thanks for your help though, I really appreciate it!
