Please help me choose a monitor

[Jakeb777]

I am creating a gaming build and i'm stuck on the monitor. I have 0 experience with this type of thing, so I could use some assistance. I'd like something in the 21-25" range and I'd like to spend less than $250. Let me know if that's reasonable or if I need to increase my monitor budget.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can get a 24" for $150.
I have no idea if gaming requires a higher performance monitor.

That's really my main concern. I'm just not sure if I need to be shopping for a certain type of monitor. I'm not very savvy with the technical requirements for heavy duty gaming.

You should post in the video card and graphics section, there's also stickies there that might be helpful.

If you sit @ a desk..you really don't want anything over 22-23" That one's only 5 ms..eh..It's OK though

5ms..up to 76Hz..not too bad.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236100

2ms..I'd recommend 2ms or better http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824116656
