To answer your long post in a few words? He wants an IPS monitor. It's as simple as that.

Dell 2410M on sale, $399. Worth it?

It's the best deal for the money. There's no shortage of information around the internet about the Dell Ultrasharps and they're widely liked for a lot of reasons. If you want an IPS in that aspect ratio, the Dell will be the highest quality you'll find until you go way above that $399.99 price...

Cheap Gaming Keyboard

The higher the rollover, the more keys you can press simultaneously and continue to register inputs. Full NKRO is by default the best since you can simultaneously press every key on the keyboard without impeding any of their inputs, if for whatever reason you wanted to do that. There reaches...

Cheap Gaming Keyboard

Microsoft Sidewinder X4. Of all the cheaper keyboards (it retails for $39.99 most places) it has the best anti-ghosting. I believe it's 12-key rollover, considerably better than most other membrane keyboards. Majority of not only cheap keyboards, but even more expensive gimmick keyboards like...

Viewsonic VX2450WM or Dell UltraSharp U2412M

Input latency and display latency aren't tied to the response time. At all. Monitors with 2ms G2G response times can have input latency higher than an 8ms monitor. Screen size is actually one of the factors that plays the biggest role in input latency, because of the way that LCD screens...

Viewsonic VX2450WM or Dell UltraSharp U2412M

With a 6870 stick to 1920x1080 imo. The 6870 is capable of running a lot of games at 1920x1200, but not the demanding titles once you start enabling the basic eyecandy. That trend will only continue as newer and more demanding games continue to come out. Unless you're planning on changing your...

Viewsonic VX2450WM or Dell UltraSharp U2412M

Those response times have essentially nothing to do with performance. At all. Ratio won't be an issue in 99% of games, but you should consider whether or not you have the GPU to push a demanding game at 1920x1200. Generally speaking, to keep 60 fps in a game like BF3 for instance a 570 can do...

Do 23" Monitors look better than 24" Monitors? VS238H-P vs. VS248H-P

Just as in the second post in this thread, it's just a matter of what is important to the consumer. Do they want slightly better pixel density or do they want the extra real-estate. Or, if they have the hardware, do they want the real-estate and a higher resolution to compensate? But...

if they're the same resolution? yes. 23" has higher pixel density. Do you care more about that than size? that's up to you. On a side note, the 23" will also have slightly less delayed display reaction and input latency due to the nature of LCD screens and how they refresh the image.

The absolute best monitor for an FPS game? A flat-screen 23 inch CRT. BTW 1920x1080 60hz is not "out of date", despite how hard esports marketing will try to convince you otherwise.

Dell Ultrasharp for new monitor

It's a different aspect ratio, so you have to consider that certain ports (sine mora for instance) sometimes are res-locked at 1080 when they come to PC. In the end, it's up to you. The extra vertical pixels can be useful and it used to be the ubiquitous PC aspect ratio, but there is...

Dell Ultrasharp for new monitor

199 is probably over, since black friday ended. 229.99 is the normal sale price on it if you search around a bit. And in the 300-and-under range, the only monitor better than the 2312hm would be a 2412hm that's on sale for 299.99, but that also steps resolution up to 1920x1200 which can be an...

How bad a no-no is it to run a lower resolution on a monitor these days?

If you run in a lower resolution, just make sure that you run in a lower resolution that is the same aspect ratio as your native, so that you don't have awkward image stretching.

IPS vs. VN

The "response time" that monitor companies advertise has nothing to do with input latency and almost nothing to do with ghosting, fyi. So unless you go to a third party site that specializes in comparing monitors, you really have no idea which monitor is more "responsive". The risk with IPS is...

A single 7870 isn't going to pull 120 fps reliably in some of the upcoming shooters, so I'm not sure what it is about 120hz that appeals to you unless you're planning to add another video card. Between Asus and Acer, Asus makes better products. But they are more alike than unlike when you...

The BenQ's are pretty low quality monitors. Many of them have horrendous ghosting issues and good color presentation, or poor color presentation and less ghosting. They certainly do have esports trying to market the hell out of them though. As far as if IPS is good for gaming or not, it...
