I know this is a bit off topic, but why does it have to be a laptop, why not a desktop?

I would go with a netbook for class and mobility. The the desktop for games, also the upgrade paths on laptops are really limited.

PDNFTT

LCD's emit such a low level of radiation that I would not bother with the filter.

IMHO you dont need it, save your money.

But the benchmarks says my GPU load is only at 77%. My GPU should be able to play the game without any hiccups on all low settings, I mean it can run Crysis on all high at 20fps! The benchmark also said that i was getting around 30fps, so I guess it didn't take into account the constant freezes.GeekFreak194

Thats GPU memory usage. What resolution you playing at?

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.

How much of a difference does it make?

I have never seen anyone use of these before. Sorry a bit off topic, but what is it for?
