Sometime last year, I was contemplating replacing my 215TW (even posted in here), but I gave it up and wanted to wait until tax-time this year. I'm glad I did because there sure are some great looking monitors out there. So, I have a 215TW and again, there's no problem with it, I'm just sick of the black crush in movies I watch (and i'm giving to to my brother and his wife). So, obviously, I'm going for IPS this time around. Ideally, I'd like a larger monitor if I was to buy a new one, so I was thinking of the EA231WMi. I do play games (anything from FPS to racing), and someone told me the EA231WMi would be problematic, but it looks like it is more than acceptable from that prad.de review. I'm willing to go with the 2209WA if it would be a problem after all, since I don't mind 1680x1050, but I plan on adding a bluray burner, hence my desire to go with the 16:9 format NEC.
Anyone care to straighten me out here? I'm leaning towards that NEC because I feel that if I didn't have any issues gaming on this 215TW with its input lag, would I honestly have a problem with the EA231WMi? It looks like it is excellent with video as well, from that same prad review. Of course, I wouldn't know for sure--hence the reason I'm asking .
