Gaming LCD with atleast 1600x1200?

[shadowfang]

Does anyone know of a good gaming LCD that supports atleast 1600x1200?

The Buyers Guide only have one recommended screen at similar resolution.

Is there any other good gaming LCDs out there?

Viewsonic VP2030B <- Excellent contrast (1000:1) and decent response time (8ms) athough i have read people having issues with DVI on this. More so with Nvidia than ATI but dont quote me on it. (MVA Panel)
Dell 2007FP <- Good contrast (800:1) and brightness (300 cd/m2), great monitor at a great price if you get a IPS panel, im not too sure but i think Dell use MVA & IPS panels and its down to luck wether you draw the latter.
NEC 2070NX <- Low contrast ratio (400:1) but still a great monitor, it has the option to boost contrast to 1600:1 with advanced DVM option. Excellent image quality and response time good enough for games (16ms) (IPS Panel)
NEC 2090UXi <- What i use as my gaming monitor, fairly high response time (16ms) and good contrast ratio (700:1), perfectly useable for FPS, awesome image quality but its very expensive (£580). (IPS Panel)

All these monitors display true 16.7m colours (8bit) and have a native resolution of 1600 x 1200. There are a few other monitors around but these are the best quality ones that i can think of. Hope this helps.

This depends how big you wanna go. The Dell 3007 is pretty incredible I hear and there is a Westinghouse 37" LCD out there for less than $1000 whose native resoution is 1920 x 1080. Just depends on how big you want to go!

Good luck!

my main concern is that it needs to be good for gaming. Which includes: Fast updating, good contrast. and stuff like that. And of course that I can use 1600x1200 resolution

^You got any conclusion?

I am on the same boat as you...1600x1200 best gaming LCD

let me know.

If you want it to be good for gaming then why not look at some Widesreen displays?
Open your mind to the wonderful world of 16:10 and get away from that old 4:3 displays

Dell 2007wfp is a good one. You'll get a S-IPS if your lucky. But it's kinda luck of the draw.

I have the Dell 2407 24 inch LCD. Max PC rated it the best gaming LCD currently on the market. Absolutely awesome for gaming.

I just got my Westinghouse 37" lvm-37w3. OMFG this thing is simply GORGEOUS!


I would HIGHLY recommend taking a look at this monitor. They are getting harder to find, but I know some places still have it.

Also, it's a 1080p LCD with a native (max) resolution of 1920 x 1080 (true 16:9 WS).

Those big LCDs are not typically rated very highly for gaming. I guess the OP should state approximately what size he is looking for.

Just got a BenQ FP241W 24 inch wide screen & so far its been great... near zero ghosting in games, very close to true black in video & no noticible input lag.

Having just moved cross-country, I brought my Samsung 204b with me while leaving my HP L2335 in the moving crates(get it this saturday). Up til the move, I have been using the HP L2335 - 23" 1900x1200 for gaming and very happy with it. Well, I've been using the Samsung 204b the last week and must say I think it's better than the L2335. Now, I don't know as much as some others here in regard to panels/response times/etc but I know my L2335 has a better panel for viewing angles but the 204b has faster response times. But for the money, I got my 204b for $280 AR from Newegg and I think it's great bang for your buck.

I think a question that may help narrow your choices - what's your budget?

No.

I have the 204B, & the only good thing about it is its color vibrance, except ironically enough, it's technically not even a good thing, since it's more of an exaggerated vibrance.

I would recommend against TN panels unless one is on an extremely tight budget...

I'll second the (Samsung) 204B:

* 1,600x1,200 Native/Maximum resolution
* 5ms Response Time (reviews that I have read suggest this is accurate including rising and falling)
* Great aesthetic design
* Rotatable panel for viewing photos and documents
* Sexy, thin bezel with unobtrusive, easy-to-use controls
* High Contrast Ratio (800:1)
* Samsung 3-Year (U.S.) Warranty
* MagicTune software makes it a snap to select various modes for Internet browsing, Movies, Gaming, or Custom settings
* MagicBrite software makes it a snap to adjust monitor settings, although the default will work great for most users
* Price is competitive to other 20" LCDs' out there

This is my third Samsung LCD, and ("knock-on-wood") I've never had a single dead or stuck pixel in any of them. My previous Samsung LCDs' were the 172T (great picture but too slow for fast FPS games at 23ms) and a 172X (12ms, so fair for fast FPS games but by no means outstanding). Awesome picture though. My daughter has inheritted the 172X. 172T is in storage as a back-up unit.

BF2 and DOOM 3 look and play awesome at 1,600x1,200 with everything cranked-up.

My budget is OK ($28.55/hour) and my only debt is $23.95/mo for cable internet.

I have a Dell 17" CRT 1600x1200 so I think anything would make the difference.

I would like the best "bang for the buck" and if the 24" isn't worth the penny's I wont buy it.

The thing is i dont know NOTHING about monitors.

Thanks for the feedback.
