Best 19" (or higher) LCD Gaming Monitor?

[ryansebiz]

I'm looking to buy a 19" (or higher) LCD monitor for gaming. Ideally it would have an 8ms response time. A big bonus is built in speakers.

My range is around $1,000, though I'm willing to go higher.

What do you recommend?

 

[KoolDrew]

You can buy a quality 19" for a little over $300 such as the Hyundai. I would recommend the Dell 2405FPW though.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

$1,000? can i have the other 700? with that cash you can get a dell 2405fpw.

Dell 2405FPW.

Meh, I don't really care, I just felt the need to make a sarcastic comment.

Enjoy your 2405 when they talk you into it, ryansebiz :thumbsup:

The 2405FPW is a fine monitor so long as you don't mind stretching and clipping in most games (not the 2405FPW's fault at all, it's a non-4:3-monitor thing). The sort of thing will become much less of a problem in the future, but right now it's kind of an issue with (afaik) pretty much everything but Source-based games.

And yeah, $1,000 for a gaming monitor and you're settling for built-in speakers? That's ridiculous. Even if you will only ever use the computer for gaming, you'd be way better off with rock-bottom-budget 5.1 computer speakers.

If you saw it and liked it, why are you asking us? :Q

 

[Ansris]

I just wanna know if its worth anything. I was running around best buy and since like 4 hours had elapsed once I saw it my friends were dragging me outa there and i never got to play with it

 

[suicidalpigeon]

lg has some of the sexiest lcd's, but my 2005fpw still pwns them.

 

[Ansris]

I know. If i were a monitor i'd so tap an LG

wow, easy there man. i've already got a 6.1 home theatre system that i run the pc into. much better quality than any pc speakers i could get. i was looking for the built-in monitor speakers just for simple system sounds (i.e. gmail notifier and other program sounds).

trust me, i'm set on the high quality speakers

 

[suicidalpigeon]

what kind of speakers are they?

But he's got audio covered now I see :thumbsup:

EDIT: oh, you see now too

Yes I see, and now you see I see too.

1905FP is a good 19" monitor (1280x1024). It's the 2001FP's little brother. It's a good gaming monitor, but I prefer the 2001FP. It's almost too bright.

2001FPW is a great 20" gaming monitor (1600x1200). I loved the first one so much I bought another.

2005FPW is also a good monitor, but not as many games support it. (1680x1050)

I don't have a 2405FP, but I hear it's pretty good as well.

Don't be afraid to spend some extra money on a nice 5.1 system or some headphones. Integrated speakers normally suck ass.
