IPS Monitors and gaming.

[shade313]

I've read through a lot of information on this subject, most of witch having been penned in the last 4 months. I think I've gathered a fairly good cross section of the industry as a whole as it stands right now and yet I still can't seem to make a decision on a monitor.

I'm looking for a monitor solution that preferably sports both an IPS panel and a low response time/input lag; low enough to handle most forms of gaming and be fairly good for the faster paced FPS offerings out there.

So far I've narrowed it down to the following but remain open to additional suggestions.

Asus ProArt Series PA246Q
-or-
LG Flatron IPS236V
-or-
Dell UltraSharp U2311H

I've also seen a number of cheap BenQ IPS options but their price makes their specs almost seem too good; don't know if they are to be trusted.

Any advice?

there's also the HP ZR24W, which is priced fairly close to the PA246Q, but has less input lag. you'll lose out a bit on image quality, but the difference should be fairly small.

lastly, for a really cheap IPS, consider the asus ML239H. retail should be around $230ish.

Thanks I had heard about the cheap Asus offerings but the price is honestly so low it makes me doubt the quality. If the quality is even half that of the proart it's very tempting though!

I have used 3 HP ZR24w's for the last year on my gaming rig and they are excellent. Great color's, low input lag and I have noticed no ghosting. I used to play a lot of BC2 and was honestly very pleased with their performance in a FPS. If you can find a good deal on one, they really are pretty dang good.
