My current monitor: 7 year old Dell 17" CRT 1280x1040@60Hz + 6 year old Samsung SyncMaster 191t (one of the first SM monitors!!!) As you see I have a very crappy monitor setup!!! System Specs: AMD 965 C3 3.91GHz G.Skill Ripjaws 2x2GB 1600MHz DDR3 2x ATI (reference ftw) XFX 5770s 1000/1400MHz 1GB GDD...

or should i consider saving a good $200 and using that money for a new computer peripheral setup: headphones, mouse, mousepad, new fans, and TIM. I don't mind 60HZ LED or non LED for Bad Company 2... it's my Counter-Strike 1.6 competitive gameplay in leagues that I am worried about... 120 FPS is no ...

I have waited a long time, and decided not to buy the 22" Viewsonic/Samsung 120Hz LCDs. Now that we have the Alienware OptX & Acer GD235Hz.. I would like to ask which is the better buy for competitive FPS gaming? Of course I would rather have the better response/input times over color.. and price di...

I heard my 5770s aren't the best for lower frame rates, and that could hurt me when I go under 60fps on 120hz monitor..right?


If so I Can save money and go with a Viewsonic VX2265wm, and purchase the ASUS when I upgrade my PSU+GPU (1-3 years from now)

Upcoming 120Hz/3DVision-ready/1080p monitor: Acer GD245HQ
Not only more pixels but also even more reactivity & better colors than both the Samsung and the Viewsonic ! (according to french review)
Estimated retail price: 330€


Thank you so much!

Walmart will take back anything no questions asked.


Then that is definately worth the gas + $20 extra fee!

I heard they had some extended warranty service, but was wondering if this is worth it?

I will definately be keeping the monitor for 3 years!

120Hz you probibly want a solid 60 fps, bare minimum 30 solid all the time, with 120fps being ideal, the reason I say this is because there is no point going to a screen with 1 frame every ~8ms, and then have a card giving it a frame every 32. It is a little bit like buying a ferrari, and running i...

Someone told me on DigitalVersus they tested the Viewsonic vs. Samsung
The Viewsonics have a lower input lag
but just by 1frame..is that 1 frame important enough for an FPS gamer to pull the trigger?

Or will the better contrast ratio make me a happy camper?

Samsung 2233rz vs Viewsonic 2265wm So I really want to know which one of these monitors I should buy for hardcore fps gaming. They both display at 1680x1050 @ 120hz. I heard the Viewsonic has a better response time...or is it lower input lag? I heard the Samsung has a better contrast ratio. The View...
