22" monitor for Gaming and Coding

Hey guys,

My birthday today (woo! go me!) and am going to get a new monitor. I think 24 is too much as I am sat about a foot away from my monitor, so I 22" is a good comprimise. I play games a lot (Call of Duty 4, Frontlines, CS:S), and code probably as much. My budget is around £250 - £300.

If your wondering why I'm not picking one myself is because I know jack-all about monitors so I just want someone will a decent knowledge of them to pick me one right for me.

Thanks in advance,
- Saul.

Ok, just got the monitor. Guess what. Its a B2. Two questions:

Whats the difference between the B1 and B2?
Should I send it back (tbh I can't be arsed)?

Thanks in advance,

I didn't notice any ghosting at all in CS:S. Looked at the specifications and it says 2ms G2G, 5ms B2W2B.

Sweet! 0ms?!

Do you have any references / sources for that?
