I need a new monitor

[justinwebb]

so i am looking to get a new pc monitor and looking to get the best bang for my buck. Will be for gaming and looking to get at least a 24 or bigger lol. I have an oldschool crt so i am not well informed on whats good and what isnt. Looking to buy locally also just due to stuck pixels and what not. So any suggestions??? saw a few i liked at microcenter but most were sold out lol

[Skinner]

for a FPS I would not go any larger than 24".

Micro Center has 23" widescreen ACER monitors right now for $170. They haven't gotten the best online reviews though. The model they are selling is X233H if you want to do your own research.

Hannspree 28" I got for $400 at microcenter.

 

I can't game on anything else

[justinwebb]

i just know acer makes pc's and wasnt sure about their monitors, i also looked at a 24" viewsonic they have made crt's forever. Also looked at an HP for $299 25" . Would 5ms response time be good enough for games? or should i go with 2ms

[unfunnyryan]

its pretty much impossible to tell the difference between 5ms and 2ms.

[justinwebb]

how do you like the hanspree i have never heard of them lol and wasnt sure, i saw the 28 but it just seems like overkill for me lol.

[Mr. Jones]

Get the hans 28". You won't find a better bang for your buck. Get it from newegg though.

I just picked up a Asus 24" for work, and it looks great and they are cheap cheap cheap.

 

 

If you really want to rock, pick this up:

It's hardly ever in stock, and an INCREDIBLE deal for what you get, once I'm done with this coming round of car mods/maintenance that will be on my wish list next.

I'm gonna say from a professionals point of view that Acer makes very nice monitors. I have 2 19" ones that I use in my wedding photography business and out of the box they were nearly perfectly calibrated and both are balanced well to each other. Also ZERO hot or dead pixels.

 

Being that I use them professionally I check them with color charts and can say that after initial calibration I haven't had to touch them in almost 1 year.

 

I play FPS and other games as well and notice no bad effects.

I only buy Viewsonic monitors, but I was given a 17inch HP LCD and it has lasted me 2 years. Even more years if you count the previous owner. Picture quality is perfect for FPS and games.

I got this Asus, I game on it all the time, even with my xbox 360 and love it. Perfect display for gaming or whatever, no dead pixals, just nab it from newegg.

i have thie exact monitor. love it. it sits next to a 22" acer. which i also enjoy.

 

5ms response time is the norm. dont let them conn you into getting anything faster than that.

I rock a very similar monitor at work. Mine is a 26" and a 1920 x 1200 though and paid $300 for it new.

[vitamincj]

I got this one or maybe the previous version for $180. It goes on sale often. Or it did a couple of months ago anyway.

I have it in front of the treadmill for XBOX games or movies. Works fine and has the HDMI, VGA and DVI. I used the audio out with headphones or 3.1 PC speakers.

I've been using a 30" for a few years now and love it. Pricey...but well wroth it. Not much of a gamer but for editing photos, it's kick ass.
