Hi everyone :D

As said in title, I am craving for a new monitor - I am not sure about which one, however. I am going to use primarily for gaming, and then for internet usage. I couldn't care less about movies and photo/graphical work. Most of the brands recommended here are not available in my country (Planar, DoubleSight, Hazro), and others only offer their low-end or non-interesting models (Benq, HP, Acer, Gateway).

The NEC 2690 is available, but it is WAY too expensive. The 2490 is absent here, but it is probably too expensive as well. The 2408WFP is available, and in a good price. Eizo, Samsung, Viewsonic and LG are widely available here also.

What would you recommend?

Thanks in advance. :)
 
What kind of budget are we looking at here? Also, do I know you from somewhere, like BF2 maybe?
 
The currency here is different, so it's hard to precisely convert my budget to USD, but it's around 800$.

And yes, I am registered in BF2 under this nickname.
 
I don't really think you need something like an NEC if you're not going to be doing any graphics work. It can be used for gaming but it's not really marketed as a gaming monitor.
 
Check the Samsung 2693HM.......a TN Panel but Excellent for gaming and movies.
 
Sadly both Samsung and BenQ are not available here.
The best choice seems to be the 2408WFP, since the HP LP2475w is absent here and probably won't be available anytime soon.
