Buying a new monitor, recommendations?

Hi,

I'm planning on getting rid of my trusty old Dell 2007 WFP.

I'v been looking at a few, like the BenQ 24" LED XL2420T and the reviews are pretty good. Any other recommendations?

yamakasi catleap 1440p IPS. they are on ebay. although i dont reccomend buying from ebay. lots of peeople get ripped off. just make sure you either get an IPS or 120hz screen. or else you will see no difference. i have an LG IPS tho and it has horrible ghosting.

the benq is by far the best gaming monitor on the market , lowest input lag and 120hz but dont expect superb colors .

Hm, that doesnt sound to reassuring. But i suppose the colors still will be better than my old Dell 2007 wfp.

Could be, although after further researching the monitor i found that the default presets are supposedly OK to good, but some people report that if you take your time and tweak the monitor you can really great quality colors.

All in all, i think i'll go for this one. Thanks for the feedback guys!

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Damn that sucks, I heard good things about the LG IPS234V though and I would love to have 3 for triple monitor setup.

For me yes. Youve really gotta play some games on a 120hz display and feel the smoothness. even the desktop is smooth the mouse doesnt skip around like it does on 60hz. gotta experience it for yourself. you probably think your 60hz display is smooth enough and it cant get any smoother. its kinda like trying to picture a color youve never seen before. you have to see it first

[QUOTE="mitu123"] So 120hz is really worth it after all?

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

[QUOTE="_SKatEDiRt_"]

[QUOTE="Elann2008"] You and me both.  I play BF3 at 100+fps, no vsync on my 60hz monitor. THank goodness BF3 has very little screen-tearing that it's barely noticeable. Although, I don't plan to buy a 120hz monitor until I get another GTX 670.

that screen does look sweet. if i could go back id get the yamakasi catleap though. ips + 120hz capable.

i do notice the lack of colors in this TN panel

Is the one I just upgrade to acouple of weeks ago. I really enjoy it, it looks fantastic and is a huge step over my older one.
