Hello, I'm also a first time LCD buyer for personal use. Mainly for online first person shooters like counter strike and such. With the information I collected from this site and others, my choices ultimately have come down to these two monitors:
VX2255wmb
L227WT
What caught my eye mainly about the vx2255wmb is it's ability to hit 85hz refresh rate while most LCD's can only hit a max of 75hz. I do know since all I've owned were CRTs is that 85hz and up had very smooth gameplay. I have also played on an LCD before and I remember there was a minor difference going from 60hz to 75hz. What I want to know is,
1. Should I just get the LG with 2ms response time over the 5ms Viewsonic since the LG is rated according to this buyers guide as number one for gaming.
2. Should I just get the viewsonic with the higher refresh rate or is it just really all about response time when it comes to gaming on LCDs?
I really would just like to limit that blurring affect when objects move fast or when your screen has to change when playing first person shooters. My previous experience was with the viewsonic vx922 and samsung 204b, lots of blurring with those monitors =/.
EDIT: I'm also considering this model
HP w2207h
Mainly because it comes with an HDMI port but would like to know how this would do for gaming as well.
Thankyou
