Monitor recommendations?

by Adacore • 30 Aug 2007, 23:44 • Journals
Hmm, so today my monitor decided to die. I stole one from my mother for the time being, but since I'm moving to my new flat on saturday, I need to get a new screen pronto. So has anyone got any decent suggestions for good, cheapish (as in well under 300 euros, I guess) gaming monitors (TFT)?

Low latency, minimal ghosting, generally not widescreen, and they're normally not great at perfect colour registry due to the sacrifices made for the latency reductions.

My 2ms gaming widescreen 22" owns! (Yes yes, I know it's only simulated 2ms, overdrive bla bla bla)

widescreen 22" LCD for gaming and widescreen 24" LCD for other stuff/movies/random

LCD > TFT

I have my samsung syncmaster 206BW four days and it broke already. The quality of the screen was great tbh, I just hope my next one will hold it a bit longer :x

if u want a gaming monitor u should go for a CRT that can get high refresh rates, but if u want to go with masses take some TFT from viewsonic or samsung

Your monitor can remove graphics that your graphics card has just rendered and transmitted to the screen?

Are you a millionaire or just talking absoloute bullshit?
