Buying a Monitor for a gaming PC

A few months ago(about 6) I had a monitor picked out that was perfect for my planned setup. But I recently checked on Newegg that it was no longer available. So now, I come to this forum section asking for suggestions from someone experienced with a monitor that can handle having your PC and an Xbox360 both setup to it through DVI, HDMI, and/or VGA ports, anything of that kind of sort.

Price is definately important, but not really restricted. I just don't plan on paying over $500 on a 19"-22" monitor.

or you can buy a CRT which will pwn LCDs

but since you want a monitor to also use your noob box i would look for the same monitor at other online retailers

LCD's are easier on the eyes

A 20 inch widescreen monitors are great for gaming. They run around $170-200, except for samsung, they go for $270.

Just go on newegg.com and look at the size monitor you want and look at the best rated. There are alot of good customer reviews on that website that will help influence your decision. That is how I got my monitor.

****loads of ignorance in this thread,wonder if Socrates is Thinker_145....

People like different things,some people don't mind TN panels,some people prefer cheap CRT's over cheap LCD's,can't we just get along? :?

Anyways,normally if you don't mind TN panels,i would recommend a Samsung 206BW (I have one and i love it) but you want HDMI,so a HDTV might suit your needs better,lemme look for one.

I'm getting a GDM-FW900 for 150USD.

Best monitor for games there is. And at a steal of a price.

But if you're set on getting an LCD, I heard this is a great monitor and has a TFT panel yet still has a response time of 2ms.

I'd get this monitor were I not getting the FW900.

If he wasnt Thinker then finally someone does share the same thoughts with him :lol:
