A 24inch LCD for $180 will most likely be a TN panel. I can't stand TN panels, the viewing angles are crap for one thing. I tried using one for awhile and if I didn't sit "perfectly" in front of it the colors would change on the screen. Most people don't care or don't even notice it because they've used them so much. Cheap panels also cause banding too which really pisses me off. But you can still get a 24inch IPS panel for 200-300 bucks. Although if it's LED backlit that could also raise the price a bit.

All LCD monitors are overpriced though, you can get a large TV with a good panel in the 400-600 range.
