Let me first say that I currently own a Samsung SyncMaster 914v 19" LCD monitor, it's been good to me for the 3 years that I've owned it but I think the time has come to upgrade. This was my first LCD monitor and I don't have much experience with any others besides my dad's 24" HP HD display, which has provided a little bit of the motivation for me to upgrade. I went up to Portland to setup his rig, get it all updated and all that good stuff and when I came home to my puny little 19" screen I was very disappointed.
The Acer X223 caught my eye first, only because I can get it for $129 on black friday. But **** it's an ugly looking piece.
The buttons along the bottom just scream "cheap" The specs though seem decent enough
Screen Size 22"
Widescreen Yes
Maximum Resolution 1680 x 1050
Recommended Resolution 1680 x 1050
Viewing Angle 170°(H) / 160°(V)
Pixel Pitch 0.282mm
Display Colors 16.7 Million
Brightness 300 cd/m2
Contrast Ratio 2500:1
Response Time 5ms
But then I seen the Lenovo L222 and I fell in love
Classy black piano finish (matches my computer speakers), modern looking stand with built in cable management and the blue backlit touch sensitive "buttons" are another nice touch (matches my Samsung ML-1630 Laser printer). The specs seem pretty decent too.

This one is a bit more expensive, about $200. Which one is better and why? I don't game, I just surf and watch movies and don't want/need the best of the best, I just want to feel like I upgraded when I do make the jump. Thanks in advance.
