Looking for a Low Ghosting Monitor

[Sarasvati]

I have a single 7950 @ 1150c/1500m and I have been looking for a good monitor with low ghosting, decent picture and a good warranty (loathe dead pixels). Budget is pretty much $300 and under. I play games a lot on this PC, but I also read a lot as well as watching movies. I do not do much video/photo editing for anything other than for fun. Would like to keep it at 60 FPS most of the time, so I do not think I can do 1440p/1600p with a single card.

My current monitor is a 22" Acer X223W 1680x1050, which seems to lack any ghosting/input lag problems. There is a bit of backlight bleeding and a dead pixel, but it is fine other than that. No idea how accurate the colors are, but I am sure even decent TN panels have this beat. Can not really find reviews on this to compare to current monitors so I am at a loss.

I have looked at the e-IPS line up and I have heard some bad things about the 2412M and the 2312HM with their ghosting/reverse ghosting. I do not know how it compares to mine though. I do like their stands a lot as well as the adjustments to it. I am fond of the 16:10 ratio since that's what I have used for close to 4 years now, but I have still looked at some 16:9 monitors.

For TN monitors I always seem to run into good deals on ASUS and most people say the input lag/ghosting is minimal on these screens, but there is so many it is hard to tell which is good (newegg reviews are not generally informative either). Stands on ASUS monitors seem to be cheap and/or wobbly too. Does not help that their warranty on dead pixels is something like 5 minimum for a return and that's pretty awful in my opinion.

So basically I do not know what monitors are good, since I really have not had much experience on what is good. I wish OLED monitors were mainstream, so I would not really have to choose between either, but I guess that is not for a while. Anyways, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Really not sure what I should go with and Black Friday deals are ending soon. :/

You need a 1ms monitor. LED monitors are 5ms to 12ms latency and are a bit ghosty and laggy mouse with vsync on in FPS games and what not... gl

The Asus VG236H is supposed to be very good. BenQ XL2420T is also highly recommended as well. Both are TN panels and generally you don't target IPS panels for gaming. I play games on an IPS display but never will I claim it is fast and all. At best it has low input lag due to only supporting DVI.

I have a Dell U2412M. I suppose whether you notice ghosting or not depends on the individual's sensitivity to it and the type of games played. I play RPGs for the most part (Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, etc...) plus LotRO. I don't notice ghosting or reverse ghosting in games like that at all. My old monitor was a four year old TN without overdrive (5ms GtG). I love the U2412M. Best monitor I've owned and a good buy - its available on Amazon for $279.99 right now.

As far as the very fast TN monitors (like the BenQ) you'll probably get some reverse ghosting in them from the high degree of overdrive they use to achieve those 2ms response times.
