    ASUS PA246Q: 24-inch, 1920x1200, IPS

    Yikes! As a FPS gamer, I may have to pass on current gen IPS tech if the input lag numbers are this high. I'd essentially be tripling my current input lag max...

    Benq XL2410T - 120hz is the real deal for FPS gamers

    I'm sure 120hz is nice but I'd have to go 16:9 aspect to get it which I'm not about to do. For what it's worth my 2yr old BenQ V2400W has been awesome for FPS games, which are all I play. No lag at all and colors are great for a TN. I also realize I got a good panel too because there is no bleed...

    Best IPS for gaming?

    And what would your recommendation be if the thread title were "Best 16:10 aspect IPS for gaming?" No way I'm going to 16:9 aspect -- fvck the panel manufacturers. In the 16:10 category, that only leaves the U2410, the ZR24w, and the new Asus PA246Q, yes ?

    HIS Radeon HD 6950 259.99 after MIR

    In on the $260 deal - thanks! Nervous as sh*t about ATI's drivers but going to take a chance anyway as I want to play maxed at 1920x1200 and $335-350 for a GTX 570 is just too much money for me.

    Time to decide on a setup: 1 U3011 vs 3x1 U2410/U2311H

    Take the single U3011 and never look back...

    $300 gaming monitor suggestions for an older fan of CRTs

    Just wondering why you changed the global settings to force vsync off, as opposed to leaving it set to "application controlled" ? There are likely games that you'll want the option to turn it on in case you see tearing while playing. Just gives you greater flexibility that way.

    BFBC2: considering upgrading

    FYI, I used to run an E6750 @ 3.6ghz with the same GTX 260-216 @ 660 mhz in my sig and it ran decent at 1680 x 1050 with 4xAA, 6xAF though occassionally would slow under heavy explosions and smoke. Now with the i5 760 @ 3.8ghz, I still run 1680 x 1050 but with 8xAA, 16xAF and it there is...

    $300 gaming monitor suggestions for an older fan of CRTs

    That's really interesting. Like I said, the one I played with was hooked up to a separate computer system in another location away from the shelf displays. In any case, perhaps there is some manufacturing inconsistency in these given all the varied opinions. I'm not needing to buy anything at...

    $300 gaming monitor suggestions for an older fan of CRTs

    I have to disagree with this. I was in a larger Best Buy yesterday and saw the Sammy PX2370 for the first time, hooked up to a separate PC and was playing around with it for a bit. Compared with every other monitor in the store, the PX 2370 was the best...hands down, in my opinion. I thought...

    I got a new 24"

    OP, are you sure about NCIX no longer offering the zdp guarantee on BenQ? That must be very recently -- like within the past 2 wks b/c a friend of mine bought the G2400WD a month ago and got it.

    New monitor choices

    Have you considered the Asus VW266H? It's a 26" TN -- 1920 x 1200 rez, but fairly high quality. As another poster mentioned, when dealing with TN panels, you really don't want much larger than 26" when sitting < 4' away. In fact, 24" for TNs is the ideal size IMO. No offense, but I wouldn't...

    Left 4 Dead FPS?

    My aging vid card is the special edition G80 8800GTS 640 SSC with the 112sp like the 8800gt (see sig) and it handles L4D better than I thought it would @ 1920 x 1200 with 4xMSAA/4xAF and everything else maxed. I'm typically getting ~ 56-68 FPS which can dip to ~ 42ish when the hoards come...

    Samsung T240 vs SamsungT240HD

    I've seen the T240 in person and it's okay, but not as good as some of the other top TN panels like the BenQ G2400WD or V2400W or even the new 26" Asus VW266H, in my opinion. And like another poster mentioned, the 'HD' version has a lot of input lag for some reason, not that that's a priority...

    Pick me the best monitor I can get for <350 dollars!

    I think you mean the 2209WA... He already ordered the Asus, but yes the Dell was mentioned.
