Best gaming monitor for ~350$?
I've been searching for many days now, and it seems like I'm lost in the jungle.
My last monitor was a acer AL2223W and it was pretty awesome, but one day a few months ago it just turned white.
Now I'm looking for a monitor from 22-27" with a high refresh rate because my PC is pretty strong and I'd like to make the most of it in terms of frame rate, picture quality, and no ghosting. Where should I look? Thanks Anandtech.

At that price point, it really comes down to two different options.
You could get one of the 27" 1440p Korean moniters off ebay (see here.) Or you can get a 1080p TN panel that has a 120hz refresh rate like the BenQ XL2420T.
Basically your choice is between higher resolution or higher refresh rate. Different people have different preferences.

Asus PB278Q
But a bit more than $350

I've had a BenQ XL2420T for about half a year, it's been great thus far. Switched from a 2233rz and was a little pensive about doing so, but it's definitely been a change for the better.

I would recommend that you check out the offerings at dell. They've got the best warranty for lcd's hands down.

For regular non-fps games I would highly recommend Dell Ultrasharp U2412M. I've never tried this monitor with FPS games, but people say it's good.

I'm running a dell ultrasharp 2709w pva panel but my son has the 23" ultrasharp with ips panel and games are excellent on both. It's been 10 years since I had a lcd panel that ghosted during gaming.
