The 20wgx2 cost me £370 about 4 years ago and has a s-ips screen with a-tw polarizer. Quite a lot for a 20" 1680x1050 screen! It is a great screen for gaming because it has excellent image quality combined with really fast response times.

Except for the fact that it is a bit small it is difficult to find a monitor with better IQ imo...

I purchased a HP LP2475w a few weeks ago expecting it to be better and it was significantly worse! So I jsut sent it back to the shop...

I havnt tried the hazro ones but they seem quite good value for money... but my recomendation is if you can get a NEC IPS screen with A-TW polarizer then get it you wont regret it! Sadly I dont think a lot of screens, even from nec, have a TW polarizer anymore so you get that nasty shinyness over blacks.. so look for one of the older models with a a-tw polarizer

Also 10 bit panels are largely pointless because you need the whole path to be 10bit eg. graphics card > operating system, software > monitor and that is extremely rare unless you do photo editing / graphics work etc.
