Cheap monitors?

I'm going to be building my computer very soon, we're ordering my components, and I want to get a new monitor. I'm looking for an LCD, but I really don't mind what kind it is. I would like it to be around 16" - 22" and possibly under $200, maybe up to $230. Also, I want it to put my 9800 GTX Black Edition to use (with resolution I mean). I'm thinking about using one of our TV's as my monitor until I get one. So do you guys have any idea on what brand of monitor I could get, and where I could get it for cheap? I'm checking out Newegg right now, but can't find anything to my liking really. Thanks everyone so much!

 

Actually, this one kind of interested me:

    The truth is your not gonna get a monitor that will give you the best resolution for the 9800 gtx video card at 230.00 or less. I think the max resolution on any 22" monitor is 1680 x 1050, correct me if I am wrong.

     

    That monitor you linked is the exact one I have and it is a good monitor but once again the maximum resolution will only be 1680 x 1050. I believe the 9800 GTX video card is capable of higher resolutions.

    Ya, I was looking at the prices for monitors with the 9800 GTX max resolution, there's no way in hell my dad would let me get a monitor that expensive, so I don't mind the 1680 x 1050 resolution, that's fine with me.

    I have an acer 19 inch and its pretty good. I bought it awhile ago and Payed 200 for it.  Im stuck at 1440x900 resolution with my 4850. But I probobly wont get a new one for a while unless I can sell the one I have now.  it would be nice to have a 30" but way expensive, i wish the prices would drop.
