My prognosis is that the monitor won't be playing games anymore
This monitor had been recommended and seems like the next LCD I would be buying.
Newegg.com - SAMSUNG 226BW Black 22" 2 ms (GTG) DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1(DC 3000:1) - Retail
Might be slightly more than 230 but it's worth it. Especially considering that you would be gaming. 22" is just awesome.
