LHammonds Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Anyone have suggestions for LCD monitors that work well for gaming? The ideal situation would be one where I can get 3 of them (e.g. < $400 each) that work well with the ATI Radeon HD 5870 video card (e.g. DisplayPort technology) I have favored Samsung in the past but almost never went with Sony simply because they are so pricey for what they want compared to similar products offered by others. http://www.amd.com/PublishingImages/Public/Graphic/242WPNG/3x1landscape_242w.png LHammonds EDIT #1: Samsung site actually had an "advisor" which was helpful in narrowing their products down to just the 2343BWX which retails for about $200 EDIT #2: Viewsonic has a few for gaming, one is called the VX2265wm and retails for about $250.

xxXEvandarXxx Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 A friend of mine has got three Benq E2400HD montiors, and it looks amazing. He says Benq are very good for gaming. Wish I could afford it :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 I have been very satisfied with my Dell Ultra Sharp 24" ever since i got it.It´s fast and has amazing colours.In DK it´s a 900 dollar screen, but everything is double price compared to US.

I was thinking of replacing my LG 1400x900 monitor. Its 3 years old now and still kicken, its quit amazing its lasted this long. I have 2 of them. For me when i get the 300gt when it comes out :confused: will probably will most definitely need a 1080P monitor :thumbsup: . wow a whopping 2048 x 1152 now thats insane, what do they call that, in tv language? 1080P ? higher then that, yikes.

LHammonds Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks for the input everyone. I ended up going with my initial favorite, the Samsung 2343BWX. Instead of buying 3, I ended up only buying 2 for practical purposes. I can't really see the need for 3 monitors of that size. I also thought about just getting one really large monitor but I like dual-monitor setups quite a bit. NewEgg is having a sale on them right now for $190 each which saved me $20 overall. http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee11/Conan_Lon/NewPC/Samsung2343BWX.png Size: 23"Max Res: 2048 x 1152Response: 5 msContrast Ratio: 20,000:1Input: DVI, VGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 ah, that was the other one I was considering. But this one has 1920x1200,, was more going for a "standard" resolution. It's pretty nice. It was originally supposed to be my boyfriend's new monitor and I was going to get his 22" LCD, but this one was too big for his desk :D Works for me ;D haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unavi Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 i have the Samsung 2343BWX and i think it's amazing. The colors are so beautiful and resolution is more that enough. Yay now i have the same monitor as LHammonds. Tbh i don't even see why you need two. Recently i felt guilty about my old 17 inch monitor and i plugged it as my secon monitor. It's big enough for putting on it everything that's in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
