Looking to get a new monitor (preferably IPS because I can't stand TN) in the subject size range, without an outrageous price tag. My only preferences are:

-Has to have minimal input lag because I do a fair amount of gaming.
-sRGB would be great as well.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!
 
There aren't any monitors on the market at the moment that meet your standards. Only way you're going to get ips without massive lag is to get a smaller screen. ( dell 2209wa)
 
u2410 is probably going to be the best for what you requested, check out the ever growing thread here
 
U2410 is wide gamut, sRGB mode causes major lag on it.

The 2209wa is your best bet now, but it's 22" and 1680*1050.
 
There's also that new NEC 23" ips coming out. sRGB, don't know how much lag it will have yet. Does 16:9 bother you?

Well, I wouldn't say 30ms is "major lag".
The threadstarter says he wants minimal input lag, but is he really that supersensitive or does he just assume he is?
This input lag thing is way overblown in my opinion. On the forum I come from many people just use it as an excuse to buy a TN panel.
 
If $781 + free ground shipping is not an outrageous price to you then I recommend the Planar PX2611w:

I bought one for a dual monitor setup. It has very low input lag compared to my NEC 2690WUXi (which is 32ms) of less than 8ms which I believe ToastyX stated (a respected member of this forum).


As an alternative there is the less expensive 26" DoubleSight DS-265W selling for $459 shipped from Buy.com that also uses the same H-IPS panel as in the Planar and NEC. Can't say much about how high/low the quality is, but at least it is less expensive than the Planar.

The Doublesight uses panel blocking instead of backlight control for brightness.

What's "panel blocking"? Some type of light polarization filter/mesh which adjusts to block varying amounts of constant backlighting?
 
That is a fancy way of saying that the monitor electronics implements brightness adjustments by adjusting the output signal values to the panel (instead of adjusting the brightness of the backlight).

With backlight brightness control, if you turn down brightness, both the maximum brightness (i.e., white level) and the minimum brightness (i.e., black level) go down.

With panel brightness control, if you turn down brightness, only the white level goes down. The black level stays the same, and your contrast ratio goes down. Could be a problem for people who are used to dim monitors (such as myself).
