I currently own the version of #1 with the non-glossy screen (246H, I think?) and can highly recommend it. It has built-in speakers, but no height or pivot adjustment, only tilt. That list is also, wildly diverse. If your max budget really is $300, then I have only heard good things about IPS monitors, so the Dell might be worth the extra $100.

I would suggest this, but it has no pivot or height adjustment.

Thanks for the advice. I decided to go with the Dell U2412M.
