Monitor Suggestions?

Hi. 

 

I bought my PC and all the parts have shipped. Now I need a monitor.

 

Being Canadian, I would prefer to buy something locally, so Best Buy, Future Shop or Memory express are shops in my area. Sounds good eh?

 

I need to know the optimal resolution for today's games. I heard that 1920x1080 is great, but I am not 100% sure. Also, I don't want to spend 600$ on a monitor, so I am slightly on a budget.

 

Don't be afraid to tell me that it is a necessity to spend a lot on a monitor. Because if good monitors really are 200$-300$, then I need to know.

 

Thank you for your time.

look at viewsonic if you can (vx modles) there good
