That one is better :P

You WILL ghost with a 5ms response time. Look for 2ms. NO DVI output? Yeah, if you want to be gamer elite, you will want what I have in the link provided. Its even better than my old Samsung SyncMaster 226BW which also had 2ms response time, 3000:1 Dynamic Contrast. The difference between my Samsung and the ASUS is like night and day. Plus you get the 3D Vision Kit (retails separately for ~$180 USD), which is an excellent bonus. The ASUS also is 120hz which IS a 3D display.. so you caneven use it as a TV (it has HDMI).

:lol:

You don't know what you're talking about.

Actually, it's completely possible to have MORE ghosting on a monitor with "2 ms" response time than one with "5 ms." This is because the response times quoted are almost ALWAYS gray-to-gray...which doesn't tell you anything. They're bull**** numbers given to make the specs look good, not to give you an actual indication of how well the monitor performs. That's why benchmarks exist to test things like this. If specs told the entire story, reviews would never be necessary.

Dynamic contrast is bull****, too.

I owned a 5ms response time LCD Monitor back in 2004. It ghosted in FPS games, I kept my Viewsonic CRT for a while more because of it, until I bought the Samsung. and I don't get ANY ghosting for this current ASUS monitor.

Its 500 with the price of the 3D Vision. So around ~300 for the monitor itself.

Most people contemplating a VG236H purchase will have gaming in mind, and from that perspective, it's a great choice—especially with games that take advantage of Nvidia's 3D Vision. (Asus plans to offer a second SKU sans Nvidia's glasses, but the company hadn't announced pricing at press time.) In addition to its ability to sync to a 120Hz video signal—an absolute requirement for compatibility with Nvidia's LCD shutter glasses—Asus claims the monitor is capable of a response time of just two milliseconds. We didn't encounter any ghosting while wearing the glasses and playing Metro 2033, Just Cause 2, and Batman: Arkham Asylum in 3D Vision mode; more importantly, the 3D effects added appreciably to our overall enjoyment of the games—especially when we had the luxury of connecting three of these displays to this year's Dream Machine.

Asus makes good monitors, i advise you for for a 24 or 22 from them, they are almost all 5 ms or lower and cost from 150-250.
