I just purchased the ASUS MS226H from Walmart and I’d like an expert to tell me if I made a good choice. I read all the reviews on newegg.com for it and everyone who bought it seemed to like it. I’m used to playing on an old 19″ CRT tv from like 2004, no HD or anything like that. I’m a big Call of Duty player and I’d really like to take the game a bit more seriously (I want to make commentaries eventually) so I’m going out of my way to try and get things that I think will help with that.

So I’m asking the experts, did I make a good choice in selecting this monitor? And will I see a noticeable difference from my old 19″ CRT?
