Hello good people of the Crossfire.nu,
after I upgraded my PC this summer, only one component of my hardware still dates back to prehistoric times; my monitor. I've been using a big, fat 15" (or 16") CRT screen since god knows when and it has slowly started to solemnly give in to the wretched shackles of time as the left edge of the screen has started to twitch every few seconds and the colors and lightning seem to pulsate every now and then. The time has come to upgrade to something bigger, broader, better (?) and quite frankly, less hideous and to send good ol' Bessy to a retirement home (although she will never cease to live on in my heart and memories).
A search on the Interwebs gave me several options below or around €200 and I ended up with this fine specimen as my primary target:
Dell - 23" - U2312HM
My knowledge of monitors does not stretch far beyond "a lower ms means a faster screen" which actually turns out to be bullshit in many cases, so I come here to ask the expert opinion of the nerds: is there any reason not to buy this monitor (for ~€180) and to get something else within its price range?
Thanks in advance!
P.S. On an only very slightly related note, check out the playoffs of Home Story Cup IV at 15.00 CET here -> http://nl.twitch.tv/esltv_taketv for epic funniez and awesome Starcraft 2 games.

IPS panel for good colors, great viewing angle, you can rotate it and adjust it in every way possible.
Also this one is better gaming than previous version almost no inputlag.
Just got it for xmas --> amazing!
Comes from the Finnish "muna pystyssä pelaaminen", which means getting an erection from playing games. Someone in the Finnish scene shortened it to munakerho, muna+kerho, with kerho meaning "club", as to describe serious gaming clans. I just poorly translated it.
Hand over your competitive esports player -license to me, right now.
