Best current gaming monitor.

Hey guys, like the title suggest, i'm currently looking for a new monitor. I currently have a Samsung BX2235 that i'm about togive to my sister so i'm looking for a new one.

I like this monitor alot, it's really great so I was thinking of getting another samsung but this time I would like to have a bigger screen.

So here are the restriction. Has to be 27inch and has to be LED. Preferably a samsung but the brand doesn't matter that much. Price is not really an issue.

So if you could give me a couple of sugestions it would be really appreciated since i'm a little out of the loop about what's currently hot in the monitors department . Thanks!

27" at 1080p is pretty garbage. Would you be willing to go for a smaller 24" or 23"?

Also, any budget set?

What's wrong with a 27'' at 1080p ? And no budjet is not important right now.

[QUOTE="Diwashb"][QUOTE="jack00"] Ok I take it back, let's try to stay under the 350$ aight ?tequilasunriser

Same here, I also have a 27 inch at 1920x1080 and don't notice any jagged lines. I do use 2x-4x AA if the game looks ok with it. I'm thinking same as you also, 27 inch is great, but I could actually use a bit larger.

Seems the prices are kinda high for the higher res monitors, I guess they'll drop sooner or later.

That Dell monitor is sweet, but even paying half that would be hard to justify.

are you a real gamer? Or some guy who thinks he is a gamar http://www.google.com/products/catalog?rlz=1C1CHFX_enUS471US471&q=BenQ+XL2420T&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=8310978259860736307&sa=X&ei=Vy6NT53cD67ZiALlyIiSCA&ved=0CFMQ8wIwAQ get this then if you are a real gamar 120hz less than 1ms of input lag, my asus has 8-12ms, but it's 120 and I still pwnJigglyWiggly_

If its TN, I would go the XL2420TX, the newer model.

The best monitors that I have seen and used are the Asus vg236, Benq 2420t and the Samsung 27" 950 series. 120 hz is where it's at if you love shooters and have the horsepower.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I am a real gamer, I play bf3 and SC2 all the time. Also have a bunch of games waiting for a new graphic card before playing because I want to play them on ultra. Anywho, if a 27inch screen is that bad, I can go 23-24 if you think it's best. The reason I wanted a 27inch is because I currently have a 22inch and if I was to upgrade i'd make it a real difference you know what i'm saying.

Advertised response time does not matter. In reality, an LCD's response time is more like 16ms, at best.

Isn't 5 ms alot for gaming nowadays ? Even mine which is like 3 years old have 2ms.jack00

The TX has a few extra things the specs sheet dont say, the glasses for 1, the image processing chip is also a bit better (personal opinion, seen the monitors in person), that said, have you also looked at some IPS or PVA panels? just a suggestion.

Also, you dont replace monitors too often, spend the extra on a higher-end panel.

Well I meant to say, I compared the T to the TX, I didn't need viewing angles for my IPS, I needed colour accuracy, and TN panels just couldnt provide that 6yrs ago.

If you don't mind just having a single DVI.

Some nice 27" 1440p monitors. Panels made by LG and used in iMacs and Dell monitors.

yeah 6 years ago, now they can. My laptop's display has a 95% NTSC color gamut accuracy, which is higher than most IPS panels according to anandtech.JigglyWiggly_

So far I think i'm gonna save for the 2420T, I have no intension of playing games in 3D.jack00

Well over here it's about 100+$ more sooo yeah, F the glasses.jack00

Just get a 120HZ monitor that has less then a frame of lag. 1 frame =16ms. Most these days have 8ms and the best ones 6 to 4 ms of lag. Look at reviews and what not, and see what you like the best. You should be able to find a 23" for around $350.

sigh this is getting nowhere...Also to the OP, aren't you the one who said hes getting a gtx 680? A $500 card? And now you're complainging about spendin $50 more to get a quality monitor? You need to seriously re arrange your priorities.

Does 120hz provide that much of a benefit?

I usually play with V-sync on at 60FPS to prevent screen tearing. Would having 120hz reduce the screen tearing and have it so I did not have to use Vsync?

Hmm, that may be my next investment then

No you do need vsync no matter what the refresh rate. I had a 100hz CRT monitor and I still needed vsync on it.
