Best deal for a 1920x1200 PC monitor? With at least one HDMI input?

Planning on asking for a monitor with those spec for christmas, was wondering what the best deal I could get is. Its gonna be used in my room for a PC monitor / PS3 Bluray playing. Thanks! :^: Also, I dont really care about the inches, I just want that resolution. (30 inches is overkill!)

Pretty much everything from 24" up to (but not including) the 30" size comes in that resolution.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
Are you sure about that? Because the 24" Acer monitor I got in the mail about 2 hours ago begs to differ.

Kind of mad though, I did not get the money I needed for the monitor until the monday, and the previous weekend it had been $40 off.
edit: also annoyed that my roommate's 360 is one of the original models and does not have an HDMI port.
thats the only 24" with 1920x1080. the other 27 monitors are 1920x1200 :P
God dammit, I recently bought this when it was the full $380 and it was during the fucking two month period where they charged tax for NY ._.
But it is awesome and I'm super happy with mine. Highly recommended.
Could you say a bit more about it? I am eagerly waiting my monitor, but I'd love to hear how you feel about the stand and the color settings.
Anyways, I never heard of the brand before, but it didnt have an dead pixels and it looks great.
I would imagine that it does because I have the 2407WFP, which does support HDCP.
The colors get a bit funny if you aren't looking directly at it, but the stand is fine and the color settings are... there? I don't really use them. But overall it's pretty sweet.
Why exactly? I cant notice a difference it anything I watch or play.
EDIT: Hm, so I ran one of these tests:

And in the 1:1 pixel mapping test it that every other pixel should be white or black and I looked real close and they are. So this monitor does have it? I thought 1:1 pixel mapping had to do with displaying a 16:9 image with black bars on a 16:10 display.
Now, if you're using a 32" with a native display of 1366 x 768 and you're transmitting a 720p image you have one of two things happening. Either you get black bars and effectively lose part of your display to represent the image accurately at 1:1, or using the entire display you get a stretched image where pixels are created from nothing to fill in the gaps, leading to usually a blurrier or slightly more unclear image. Some displays have built in technology to make the image look nearly as sharp as it would on a 1:1 display, and it's not too obvious when you're doing standard TV stuff.
However, if you plan to use it as a PC monitor and the resolution is off it's going to look like ass.
Something to consider.
why is that LCD panels moved to 1366x768 while content remained at 720p? The 360 won't even output to 1366x768 (maybe over VGA it might, i haven't checked), and most if not all "720p" LCDs on the market are indeed really 768p.
