Approx. $200 16:9 monitor for gaming?

[Freddy1765]

I'm currently using a 22'' BenQ @ 1920*1080, but I'm not super impressed by the colours, so something a bit more.. vibrant, would be nice.
Size-wise 22-24, and definitely 1920*1080 resolution, ~$200, and it'll be used for gaming. Absolutely no 3D! (even though that's probably unrealistic at that price point anyway).
Any suggestions?

Dell U2410M for $300-400?

I don't think that you will find a better LCD panel ("more vibrant") for $200, especially for a 22-24". Most panels that size and priced around $200 are TN, which means that you would just be getting more of the same that you already have.

Are you looking for something for photo/video editing? Or gaming?

That's a bit outside my price range I'm afraid; and yea, it'll be for gaming.
Found two Samsungs that I'm considering now; S24B350H and S24A300B. The 350 is $35 more expensive, can't really figure out why.

A friend of mine has a Samsung he bought a couple of years ago, his colors are definitely better than mine, so I'm pretty certain those are the ones I'm going for.

I purchased a LG IPS236V last week for $200. I'm not sure what the quality of the IPS panel is but it definitely looks better than a TN panel and the viewing angles are definitely better.

Here's a link to the product on the site that I purchased this at to give you additional detail on the monitor.

I thought IPS panels were pretty bad for gaming cause of response times?
Anyway, I put an order in for a Samsung S23B350H, gonna see how that turns out.
