are dell monitors good? i have heard that they have really good image quality/color correctness.
Here is the link, and i am buying locally, so no newegg this time.

The quality of the panel is determined more by the type of panel than the brand. Dell sells different types of panels, so some are very very high quality, and some are similar to lower priced competitors.

Generally speaking, you can't get super high image quality without the higher price tag. If you are looking under $200, then you are looking at a panel that is a "TN" panel. These have lower color quality, but unless you are doing professional print work, it doesn't really matter. TN panels are great for gaming because they have fast response times, and don't suffer from input lag. They do lack a bit in viewing angle, but I have used TN panels for a while, and have never had a problem.

If you are buying local, go look at them! You will be able to decide if you want to pay more for a nicer panel. Just find the ones you like, write down the model numbers, and do some googling at home to figure out what type of panel the monitor uses, and whether or not you think you want to buy it.

I heard that Samsung monitors are pretty good, I haven't asked around about Dell though.

I just got a Samsung 23" widescreen LCD monitor at 2048 x 1152 resolution. Just gotta' be careful your video card can make it to the native resolution lol

The one at newegg here is on discount at 200, but you said you didn't want to go through newegg so it's about 250-260.

Samsung, LG or Asus.

I have an Asus 25.5" and I love it. I upgraded from a 22" LG and it was a good monitor.

I just got an Acer x213h. It's 21.5" with a resolution of 1920x1080. So if you can find one local you might want to consider it. I love mine to death.
