Hey,

Just put together a new rig for gaming. Mainly it's got a Q9550 and a 1024MB 4870 and I'm looking for a monitor that can put these to good use. I also would use it to connect my PS3 to and play some games on that. I looked around and came across the Samsung T240HD but I heard that it is not the best I could get for around £300 as it has some issues running games. Any opinions or other suggestions would be welcome.

PS, I would also appreciate if it had an in-built TV tuner card. like the T240HD

I currently have the LG L246WP-BN 24inch monitor... It's more difficult to find now, however it is fantastic. It has HDMI and component hookups. So i even have it hooked up to my PS3 and HD Satellite receiver in my room.

Here is a good list of 24-inch with HDMI inputs

Dell Ultrasharp 24" is the best 24" monitor available -- it's expensive though, but you're paying for quality. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-6272

HP LP2475W

Amazing colour reproduction, used for colour critical work, low input lag makes it good for gaming. Latest tech panel.

Yep another person recommending the monitor they own lol

Here is the review that made me decide to get this thing:

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/hp_lp2475w.htm

IMO this monitor and the ones from Hazro are the best.

Of course it all depends on what you are going to use the monitor for. Most FPS gamers pick a TN panel, or if they are really hardcore a CRT. This is due to the input lag. TN panels in general have low input lag, however colour reproduction is not great, and the viewing angles are restrictive.

PVA/MVA/S-PVA have great colours, but are slow response time and input lag. Not good for gamers

Then there is the latest tech H-IPS (The HP I am plugging) panels, faster response time than some TN panels, and great colour reproduction.

Other IPS panels like the Harzo are also great for games, and have a lower input lag.

IMHO the HP and Hazro are the best monitors you can get, unless you plan on spending thousands on a medical grade one, but that would be insane.
