Ok guys im buying my new computer tonight i believe from newegg.com and need help picking the last piece of the puzzle. A lcd monitor

What I want:
22" Around that i mean some are 21.5" which is fine but around 22 inches
150-250$ Would be very helpfull
I Game ALOT So very nice for gaming

So with this being the case let me explain my situation.
(correct me if i am wrong)
Im buying this new computer for christmas and need the last piece. I love playing games and wanted a monitor to do it all. I studied so much and still cant decide. I found out dvi and hdmi run exactly the same expect hdmi includes sound thats why you can go hdmi to dvi and dvi to hdmi without any problems. I heard response time really makes know difference after about 10ms. Also refresh rate isnt something to base your decisions off of ethier. So now where am i? Well i keep looking back and forth deciding based of contrast ratio and a little bit about response time but there is no One Standard so who knows what is better. For Example:

Response time: 5ms compared to 2ms compared to 2ms(GTG) <- What is this gtg? Seems kinda shifty and not so true to the 2ms but if someone could explain that also

Contrast Ratios: 1000:1 compared to 2500:1 to 20000:1 (ACM) and 12000:1 (ASCR) how do you know what is better?

Other Considerations i was thinking is getting a monitor with 1080p hdmi so i could also run my 360 through it and stuff like that BUT when you run hdmi you run that audio and are stuck with it and so many people say the speakers on these monitors are horrid becuase they are weak.

If someone could please talk me through buying a lcd monitor it would be nice!

So preferably a nice 22" HDMI 1080p Monitor 150-250$
This is what I have found and don't know which is better.

Eh, manufacturers will distort their own contrast ratios and stuff to an extent comparing them is kind of useless. I would simply go with the one you like better from the reviews.

so do you think that they are both good? so they are both fine i just pick one?

I'd get the Acer, reviews sound better, 3 year warranty.
