LCD, 20+", good for gaming

mrbagrat · 06-20-2006, 12:16 AM

I might be getting a new monitor in the future because the CRT I have is huge (almost 2 feet deep). The monitor I have now is 21 inches, so I would like no less then 20. It needs to be good for gaming, no ghosting, etc. And preferrably lowish in price, between 3-600$. The lower the better.

If there really is nothing I can get for the price, I can wait. But the lower the price, the better.

Finally, if there is one in the $ range, something above 22 inches would be nice. But not necessary.

hmmm.. well i suppose this

could do the job...reasonably priced too.
Also I should note that Dell make some really nice LCD's, I have several friends who've got 1 and they rock!(prices are a little higher though)

Well I had a Dell 19" but it had huge ghosting issues. The monitor you suggested looks good, save for the 16ms response time. And other ideas people?

That would be terrible for gaming, it has a `16MS repsonce time.

These would be fairly nice, a high Res, good MS time and a good contrast ratio.

Yeah, if thats the 20" one its the one my friend has. I looked at it and it didn't really appeal to me. Got specs?

Bleh...I feel like I could get a lot better for the price. 70 odd dollars for an extra .1 inch isn't really worth it to me. Also, apperantly the refresh rate only goes up to 60hz which is WAY too low for me. I notice flickering under 70hz.
