Need help on picking monitor

Hey guys, just wanna know what monitor to get. I have no experience with HD screens (still using an old Dell) and need to upgrade before building my PC in November.

I have a £300 ($500) budget, but I'm just confused when it comes to how many monitors there are out there. Main priority is gaming, so I know a fast response time is needed. I have been looking at a few Dells and a HP, but have found very few reviews on each.

Any help's appreciated guys

I'm dropping $500 on one of these pretty soon:

Get that Dell or better. Dont look at response times.

About the best monitor you can get in each price range:

• ~$160 - ASUS VW224U 22-Inch Widescreen
• ~$200 - ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Widescreen
• ~$300 - ASUS VE276Q 27-Inch
• ~$570 - Dell UltraSharp U2410 24-inch (basically top of the line)

You just have to ask yourself: Is it worth it to you to spend the extra money to move up from one rung to another?

Good luck and happy gaming!

This is perfect man, thanks for the list. I feel to go with the UltraSharp as I usually don't upgrade things for quite some time. Just have to find a good price on it now, there isn't a direct conversion of currency so it ends up costing £400-£500 ($660-$820). That's pushing my budget but I can save up for a couple of weeks moar. Again, thanks for the help guys

Not sure if you're into 3D, but you can get a 120Hz 1080p 3D monitor for alot less than the Dell...-GeordiLaForge-

they had the ultrasharp 23 inch IPS monitor on sale at dell.ca for $209 earlier this morning....now the price has gone back up again. I say wait it out till you find a good deal on an ips monitor. I will also be buying an ips monitor when I see a good deal.
