Soon to be in the market for an affordable 24" LCD display strictly for high res gaming and maybe a little Photoshop work. Keep in mind a little image quality and good color (for the price range) wouldn't hurt. Having set said requisites I've come across 3 possible candidates.

1) Sceptre x24wg-Naga

2) Samsung 2493HM

3) Acer P243WAid

If the Samsung display was at 2ms I wouldn't even have to make this topic. It'd be an instant buy, though it's not so I'm forced to ask: Which one would you guys go with?
 
I don't know these monitors, but 2ms and 5ms in practice are not noticable (OK, maybe for someone, but not for me... :) ) But "2ms super fast" sticker looks really good on a monitor, doesn't it? ;)
 
Well, Dell says their 24" is like 6 ms, but real world usage proves this panel has quite the input lag.

Best thing to do is go to google.com, search model number followed by "review" if people here do not have experience with them.

I am wary of lesser known brands and have heard good about that Samsung. If I were in your shoes I would pick the Samsung knowing that I'd be getting a good warranty as well. But of course, do some research on each individual panel and compare the pro's/con's of each.
 
I'd go for Samsung, it is a reliable brand and maybethey got time-limited zero-dead pixels warranty. At least in Czechia they do (exchange the bought monitor in three days).
 
Go for the Sammy,

If you want to save a couple of bucks because you don't need HDMI, try out the 245BW from Samsung. Cheaper, no USB ports, but still a good gaming screen.

Regards,
