I am looking for a 26" monitor that will be about 65% gaming, 20% general use, and 15% audio/video editing/encoding. I have no issues with using a TN monitor. My monitor is always viewed headon so viewing angle is not a big issues either. Within my price range I was looking at these:
Samsung 2693HM
Acer X263Wbi
LG W2600H-PF(25.5")
Westinghouse L2610NW-SP(25.5").
I will be using only a dvi out as it will only be used as my pc monitor. Any recommendations on these 4 monitors? The 26" is the largest that I can fit in my desk area or I would save up and go with a 30. Also I will be sitting about 3ft. from the monitor so I think anything larger than at 26" and I will be too close to it. And as an afterthought has anyone heard of these monitors:

I wished I could but I am looking at going upt to $520. If I could stretch a little more I would get the samsung T260. I looked at my price range on the best ones I found are the ones I listed but if there is something better that is in my price range I will go for it.
 
Eh, OK. Well, from these two I'd probably get the LG model as I don't know Hanns·G and I don't trust Acer. Or maybe Samsung 2693HM. You know what? Create a poll, so people would vote for a monitor :)
But if people here have no idea, you will have to give it a try and possibly return the monitor if you are unhappy with it.
 
I see you skipped the Viewsonic VP2650wb. Just didnt know ablout it? Ill probaly get an H-IPS but this looks real nice.

I have the Samsung T260HD. Includes a built-in Digital TV tuner, 2 HDMI ports, DVI, VGA, Component. I'm loving it so far. You may need to adjust the settings since I've heard some say it's colors are off. But I haven't had a problem so far. I had to adjust the settings when using my PS3 over HDMI but DVI input with the PC is great. No visible input lag, but it could just be me.

I would seriously consider this, especially if you were thinking about wanting to watch digital TV.
 
I am thinking of selling off a few things that I have and raising a little more cash. That would give me just enough to go with either the ToC T260 or the Viewsonic VP2650pb. There is about a $100 price difference so I am looking for any reviews that I can use to compare the 2 and see if it is worth. I know ViewSonic makes good products as almost all of my LCD's except my current one have been ViewSonic.
