a 1920x1080 23" monitor is bad. the picture looks distorted because that's not the normal screen rez for a 23". 24" is the best way to go for full HD, 1920x1080 is the normal rez on a 24" so its not a big picture squeezed into a small screen.

I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.  There is no "normal" screen resolution for a 23".  Difference size monitors have all different screen resolutions.  The picture will be displayed according to the monitor's resolution - there is no distortion.

Lol idk, I remember reading some where when I was looking for a HD monitor it said not get a 23" 1 080p monitor cuz the picture will look a bit distorted. 24" and up for full HD is recommended. -it was in a review of a Samsung 23" 1080p monitor I was looking at...

Acer H233Hbmid

There's also a 24" version with a 2ms response time for just a little more. I mentioned it because it seems to be popular with gamers as that's who it was aimed at.
