Thoughts on this monitor.

I'm really short on cash but this monitor has got to be better than my current one. It's only 720P. Thoughts suggestions? I only have $200 to spend. Thanks for the input.

Oh, here's the link.

The specs don't indicate the display type. Based on that, it's cost, and a couple of othe specs I'm betting it's a Twisted Nematic (TN) display.

TN displays are the least desireable type for doing image editing becuase the range of accurate viewing angle is so narrow. So narrow you usually cannot see an entire photo accurately without moving your head.

IPS (in-Plane Switching) display's are sought for image editing because their accurate viewing angle are a lot wider than TN accurate viewing angles. Dell's UltraSharp monitors are about the lowest cost IPS displays available. UltraSharp U2211H 21.5" 1920 x 1080 1000:1 Widescreen LCD Monitor

In-plane switching (IPS) technology for remarkable colour consistency from virtually any angle

Dell's monitors are really nice exp for the money. However, the OP only has $200 not $255.

Thanks for the heads up. I like the dell. I will see if I can coerce the wife in to letting me have a few more dollars. LOL I know have a better idea of what to look for. Thanks again.

The ASUS VH236H is a TN panel monitor. Basically the worst type for colour performance, viewing angles, and every other spec except for refresh rate. If you're into photography I highly DON'T recommend it.
