Need new monitor plz help

[Godofthegeeks]

Hey guys im looking for a new monitor anywhere in the 200-350 dollar range. I have never owned a quality monitor and i just built a brand new rig for Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3 gaming. Once again i want this to be a gaming monitor able to keep up with no input lag and so on... Im not sure if i should go with an IPS or a TN panel, i DONT CARE as much about every color being perfect, all i really want is DECENT color and amazing gaming experience with no lag whatsoever. Im running a radeon hd 6850, with an i5 2500k cpu. $2-350 please thanks everyone!

Asus VG236HE 120hz --> experience ultra smooth image and zero screen tearing in BF3. You could probably put everything on low settings, get well over 60 fps and enjoy the advantage over other players 😀

I've got a 60hz 27 incher and a 120hz 22 incher, the 22 incher is a lot better for online FPS simply because the image is so smooth at high frame rates.

Yep, for gaming you want to go 120Hz, and luckily you just about have enough money to do it.

In a world ... where only two input devices remain ... :awe:

But seriously, getting a nice mouse and keyboard can make a difference. I like my G500 and mechanical Das Keyboard; they make a big difference in the overall experience.

Okay, if you want something big and low cost I'll suggest a budget LCD for you. I-INC 28" 1920x1200. Tiger Direct sells them. COMPUSA has them as well (which is owned by TD). Normally about $279 but you can find them on sale quite often for $249 in store. Its a TN panel but looks quite good. No ghosting and excellent for games. Hansee also makes a similar 28" TN LCD for about $280. If you need to have extremely accurate color (photo editing, etc.,) then you'll want to go with an IPS LCD but if you are a gamer on a budget and want something large then check out the I-INC 28". I love mine.
