Which Monitor Would Be Best For PC Gaming?

[Cassius101]

I am buying parts to build a gaming computer this Sunday. I narrowed down my Monitor selection to these 3. Which one would be best for gaming? I know the BENQ has that equalizer thing that makes it look better but is that worth it?

I am thinking that I should go with the BENQ, does anyone agree? Also, the only Blacklit monitors are the Phillips and Asus, is having a black lit monitor essential for PC gaming?

You might want to venture over to the Video Cards and Graphics forums, there are quite a few topics on gaming monitors there.

What games will you be playing? If you were playing a game like solitaire then any monitor will do, but if you are doing fast paced games of old like Unreal Tournament III online then you'd want a 144Hz, 1ms monitor.
