so my girlfriend wants to buy me a lcd monitor

She got on this kick that she wants to buy me somthing because i am always buying her stuff. she doesnt have $300 to spend i found this link whould this due? i do a little gaming but my life doesnt revolve around fps. i am more worried about clarity

I wish my fiance would just buy me something like a nice LCD out of the blue. You lucky dog!!!

I have the Viewsonic VX924 - If you are into gaming I would recommend it as there is Zero ghosting and an insanely fast response time. As far as color reproduction, I would not recommend it. Again, this is a great gaming monitor but overall picture quality is not the best. Check out my sig for a link to some pictures.

Good luck.

Since you are not looking to spend over $300 then that looks like the way to go. Anything less than 12ms is decent IMHO when it comes to response time. I think that would be an OK choice. If I see anything worth mentioning I will do so ASAP.

hmmm i got mine on ebay for 180$, an HP 1755 17in LCD and i absolutly love it! its so sleek looking, has the best stand iv seen on an lcd, and has a 6 port usb hub built right onto it and the bezels are only about 1/2 in or maybe even a little less thick, so running dual monitors would look amazing. I absolutly love the stand. http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/e...HP L1755 LCD Flat Panel Monitor&lang=en&cc=us theres HP's link for it, the only problem is that it has a 25ms response time. But i dont do that much gaming so i dont really care about a few miliseconds, and for 180$ you cant go wrong

You will find a ton of 19" 12ms at newegg right around $200 with tons of reviews to check out.

well we went out looking at stores and there were two that really stood out. the samsung 730B and the Nec 1740cx both at ~$240. my girlfriend doesnt like buying things online "i'd rather take it home with me than wait" anyways but i am leaning towards the nec because of its looks and thin benzel. they are both 8ms any comments? i will probably get it tomorrow
