I used to have a 22" monitor too.

1080P

And because of its small pixel count and high res.

it'll look great!

In sender to you question, yes this is a good monitor.

couldn't even find that TV on the Samsung website or any input lag databases that I know of, and the site you linked isn't listing the response time. Can't really safely say without knowing that.

I will say that you can find an Asus or BenQ gaming monitor, 24" and actually a little cheaper with a 2ms gray to gray, which is excellent. So try looking for a RL2455HM or RL2450HT if you're looking in the $200-ish price range.

Just for the record if you are just a Single Player gamer you are good with that TV, but if you want to also play Multiplayer/Online Games, Tvs will have a far bigger response latency then Monitors, we are talking +30ms. So its up to you and how you play games, also thats pretty overprice, for that you can get this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-S24C550VL-Monitor-250cd-1920x1080/dp/B00BFTRSWI/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1381587386&sr=1-1&keywords=monitor

Or this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-Ultrasharp-U2312HM-inch-Monitor/dp/B005MHMFJA/ref=sr_1_6?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1381587386&sr=1-6&keywords=monitor

That Dell has an IPS Panel.

Anyway its up to you.

Edit: On that note I just realize he might actually be talking about Console Gaming in that case My options still apply =P since you can just hook up a console to a regular monitor.

They are taking response time more seriously with TVs today, but even still, the fastest I've heard is a spec listing of 6ms gray to gray, which is about 6 times slower than the fastest monitors, but it's still quite an improvement.

I also like the picture options better with monitors, as they don't muddy things up with image processing like TVs do and I don't think I've seen a tv with a 1:1 aspect ratio. Also, some of the better gaming monitors come with presets for FPS games, which is nice.
