hello, im looking to buy a good LCD monitor for gaming
sooo here is what im looking at SAMSUNG SM2343NW
i need some good advice if its a good LCD, because im getting it for $150 sooo its seems kind of a low price for that monitor :S
?????
 
Acer is also a good brand. I have 3 of them and not one single issue, and about to buy a 4th.

Prices on monitors have really come down lately. I bought the 22" Acer over a year ago for $230, which can be bought now for $149 - $169. So don't worry how low the price is, only unless its a no name brand.
 
Screen Size 23" Widescreen
Resolution 2048 x 1152
Brightness 300 cd/m²
Contrast Ratio DC 20000:1 (1000:1) (Typ.)
Viewing Angle (Horizontal/Vertical) 170˚ / 160˚ (CR>10)

????????????
 
thats the one i wanna get
soo its got just one vga
it doesnt have dvi hdmi :S
but i think its a good lcd
the resolution i good :S
soooo i think it will be OK :S
 
I would really think about buying one that has either a dvi input or an hdmi input. If your gonna spend money on a monitor why not? At least get updated technology for better video quality.
 
I don't know a lot about monitors...I just buy a nice Samsung and they have been great. I have friends that have other brands (LG, BenQ, ViewSonic) and they always say how nice the picture is on my monitor.



Please anybody correct me if I am wrong...Like I said...I don't know much about monitors.

You have to get a DVI input...VGA just aint gonna cut it these days.

The Samsung SM2343NW you selected has a weird resolution. 2048 x 1152 is the full screen. I think you may have a hard time finding that setting in games and other things. I have never seen it. That will mean when you game...you might not be able to use the entire screen.

I would look at getting a 22" with a 1680x1050 or maybe a 24" with 1920 x 1200 resolution settings. These two resolutions are very commonly supported in almost all games.
 
Higher quality video using DVI or HDMI. Plus, sometimes you can get better resolution using DVI.
 
I'm also looking for a new gaming monitor.
What should i look for when buying a gaming monitor?

Also:
Most response times seem to be at 5ms but some at 2ms, is there a big difference?

I also had issues with dark colors on my old LCD, i used to get dark-green (almost black but still green) edges around objects in dark areas (areas in the game), how can i avoid such monitors?

Thanks
 
i don't believe there is a huge difference but i have a 3ms i believe and also the brand AOC is a good brand and usually has good quality
