Hey guys,
i have been going over a bunch of monitors and well after reading Prad's review of the HP 2475 my choice may have changed. I need an LCD for the following things and in order of priority:

Gaming (competitive FPS, RTS, MMO) 70% of useage
Movies (usually xvid/divx avi rips) 20%
Browsing Firefox 10%

i want quality picture and speed. i am willing to spend upwards of $700.

Looking at the dell 2408 looks like a disaster.
the HP 2475 is like to 2 FPS behind, in FPS's that could really hurt.

Any ideas Gents? Thanks...
 
IIRC the BenQ V2400W (although I may be wrong on the model #) is probably the best gaming LCD monitor there is. It has very low input lag and is a TN panel so it has fast response time.
 
How is the picture quality on that BenQ? i got a 20" Sammy 204b now, i want something with minimal bleed and vibrant colors.
 
The new BenQ HD models are supposed to be sweet. I was thinking about the 22" b/c it is 1920x1200 and the fast response time of a 22". Probably better for gaming than any 24" in terms of speed and pixel density.
 
My V2400W has very minimal - or unnoticeable - input lag. The color looks vibrant to me for a TN. I have to agree though, when I place it next to FP241W, FP241W it's a VA panel still shines more.
 
hmm, as cool as it looks i don't think i care for that fact that it is HD. I have a 32" sitting right next to me for movie viewing HD formats. My main thing is real estate, something pumping 1920x1200 would be better suited for me.
 
Definitely go full 1200 res because it's a lot more of a cut than it looks like at first. I change from a G2400 to a 32" LCD TV so I could sell the monitor and it's quite a difference.
@spaceman - Size isn't related to input lag, my LP3065 is one of the best for that and it has the biggest PC specific panel you can buy.
 
If you have a costco near you, it is worth checking out the Acer G24...should be pretty good for gaming. I think they were selling through their website for $369 shipped (plus applicable tax of course). Let us know what you decide on.

That 22" is 1920x1200.

BenQ's "HD" models are 1080p low screens. Like every damn overhyped "full HD" monitor.
Only 22" 1920x1200 monitor is Lenovo L220x.


And like Uberbob102000 said size and resolution aren't related to input lag/response times... In fact TNs without RTC have much slower actual response time than RTC equipped IPS/VA monitors.
