I know this is may be way below the level of equipment you folks are used to dealing with, but I'm a long-time inmate (who sneaked over here from vinyl) and I trust your judgment.

I am looking for a 23" (give or take) LCD monitor that can handle my laptop and my OPPO DV-980H DVD player. The criteria are:
1. good detail, color and shading reproduction. It doesn't have to be too bright since I will watch movies in a dark room.
2. HDMI and VGA input
2. clear text quality
3. base price of $300 and under.

I will not be playing games--just watching video (both movies and small-production concert DVDs, etc.) and using it for text work.

So far I have looked at LG E2350V and Samsung PX2370 and B2330H. The PX2370 has the best color but it does not have a good reputation for text. Dells (e.g. STB2310) seem to be the other way around--good for text but blah color. Advice?
