Hello everyone.

I know there are a few of these posts floating around, however most are rather old now. I'm looking for a monitor that will be used almost entirely for console gaming on my HDMI Xbox 360. I'm trying to save a bit of money here, being LCD TV's are rather expensive. I can later use a new system with the monitor when I can afford it.

Anyway, I've been looking at 22", and 24" models, and it seems most of the 22's do not have an HDMI connection or 1080p capability. Personally, I can live with 720p, and 22's are much cheaper, but I don't know if any of them will display the console's image properly. The larger 24" monitors seem to be better suited for consoles. I've heard about this 1:1 scaling and how vital it is for console gamers. I'm not sure how true any of this is though.

Are there any monitors out there that perform well for the Xbox 360? By perform well, I mean no noticeable lag and the screen isn't distorted or stretched awkwardly or something. Is 1:1 scaling absolutely vital? Any opinions would be very helpful! :)
 
Look at the BenQ G2400W. It fits the bill nicely and will work flawlessly with the 360 over HDMI. It will allow you proper 1080p, 720p, 480p, whatever you want, and it will scale or not scale depending on what you set it at.

It's a fairly well-priced 24" that is easily found for less than $400.00 and maybe (if there are deals) in the $350.00 range.

Input lag on it is among the lowest of any monitors. It has DVI, HDMI, and VGA connections.

Thanks for the response 10e. I actually took a peak at the G2400W thread and I like what I've read and seen. Ncix has it available for $375.00. Newegg is about $390.00. I'll have to do a bit of shopping around. If anyone knows of a better deal on this monitor, I certainly wouldn't mind a bit of bait! :p
