Best 1920x1080 gaming LCD

[Obsoleet]

What's the best 1080 panel (I want 1080 not 1200) for gaming? Mainly interested in input lag and response times. Color accuracy doesn't matter as much, I'm pretty severely colorblind. 23 or 24" preferably.

Asus VW246H is a very good gaming monitor,link.

I'm using one myself ,no complaints.

Looks nice.. i'll take a deeper look into that one. I want more than x1050 but less than x1200... x1080 is the current trend anyway for PC lcds and it fits what I want for video card requirements. good to know there's some decent 1080 22"+ panels out there

I'm running a 32" Toshiba Regza with one of my pc's and its excellent for gaming! :thumbsup:
Its this model.

Have one my xbox 360's hooked up to it also so i can game when wife is hogging the main tv in the living room watching tv.

The Regza has a "gaming" mode and there is ZERO ghosting and excellent color.
Just read the reviews.

Oh, forgot to add im using a GTX 280 with a DVI to HDMI cable.
Text is sharp and clear. i like it so much i dont use my Dell 2450 FPW anymore, its been retired since i got the Regza.
(of course, I dont use the LCDs speakers since they suck like most integrated speakers)

Can a Plasma be used?

Yes, plasma's can be used, but you have to worry about "burn in" so i'd be sure to get one that has that "shift feature" (sorry dont know what its called)
It shifts the picture a few centimeters every few seconds to prevent an image from burning into the screen.
The shift is so minute, you dont notice.
Honestly, using a plasma for pc use is probably a good question to ask in the audio/video/home theater forum since you'll get way better info and suggestions there.

I can tell you that be sure to get one that does 1080p, not 1080i or 720p since those resolutions will look horrible as a monitor for reading text, and you'll have trouble getting your desktop centered due to overscan etc..etc...

I tried hooking a pc to a 720p/1080i Plasma a few years back and believe me , you'll HATE the results, so stick to 1080p only for using as a pc monitor.

Here, this forum will come in very handy when looking at LCDs and Plasmas.

I have a Samsung PN50B650 plasma.. it's great but I never intended to use it for my PC. I need to have a few different entertainment spots in my house so I can escape if necessary.
