Is this LG monitor good for gaming?

Has great reviews. Sounds good to me but I haven't shopped for monitors in years. Thanks.

If your graphics cards can handle 1080p then yes. I also happen to agree with the person above, something from asus or dell would be a safer bet. Hannsg die within a year normally so dont get one of those

I also suggest a asus, can be had for around the same price.

I won't be shopping for any future monitors besides LG. IMO, they have the best picture quality, even over Samsung and Dell (I don't like the colors on Dell monitors.) Haven't had an ASUS monitor or ever seen one in person, only heard good comments.

Asus all the way. I would never go back to any other brand, especially not Samsung. If you're serious about gaming, purchase a monitor that is 1920x1200 16:10 aspect ratio. In this day and age, there are so many 1080p 16:9 ratio and I never find those to look great for gaming. Now, if you're running much lower resolutions then go for it. I like gaming at 1920x1200.

BenQ's are nice too but they can be a bit expensive.
