what are some things that i should look for in a good gaming lcd monitor?
high ratio? 2000:1 or higher
low response? 5ms or lower
those are like the only two that i know so far, can anyone else give me some more info?
I am in the market as well to replace a Samsung 215TW with another 22-incher that probably will be used in games more than other things and the LG L227WTG listed at the top of his gaming section is supposed to be pretty good. I'm leaning towards that one (looks great with that glossy screen even at Best Buy, too) and everything I see online points to it being very good for gaming and other uses. As a bonus, I found a few people I know around town here that have purchased it and told me that the backlight bleed is very minimal (for them, at least).
I was contemplating the G2400W as well, because its quality is great, no doubt about it, but went back to the LG. As has been said in this thread before, the wide gamut seems to make various colors look more natural to me. Plus, that glossy screen sure looks clear as a whistle (or it could be 'clean' too! )! His guide at the front is a very good starting point, too. There are plenty of things to consider, which I'm sure others will tell you. I just thought I'd give you my 2 cents and let you know what I've found to be a good gaming screen through some research. Good luck choosing your own!
