Hi,
I am new to this forum and am a new buyer for monitors. I am currently on a 20" LG Flatron W2061TQ and am planning on purchasing a new 23.6" - 24" monitor as I am planning on upgrading my graphics card. I plan on using this new monitor for gaming purposes and some multimedia. My question to you guys is, what do I need to look for with these monitors? What are some of the brands that I need to check out? I saw a 23.6" Samsung at buy.com that was on sale for $159.99 and was interested until I saw that it did not have HDMI. My friend also told me that he wouldn't go below the resolution of 1920 x 1080 on anything more than 22" yet that seemed like the common resolution for most 23.6" monitors that I found on newegg, is that resolution normal for that size screen?
Thanks for all your help,
abp.
