Which 24" screen for gaming?

[teknokid]

the clue is in the name, i cant decide and dont know enough about TFT's to make a decision. Im leaning towards the dell, but thats coz it looks the best.
here are the choices:

The contrast ratio inst hardly as good on the dell

The acer has a very quick response time... id go with that one.. hopefully it comes with the picture on the screen!

same, the acer does have the better credentials
but that much on a pc monitor

[teknokid]

ok, ill try and get my dad to get one first so i can try it out :D

I think dell is still the best 24" monitor on the market

[teknokid]

yeah, but thats the HC model really, it came out top in CPC but its £430 for that model.

[Jonny2Bad]

yeah they are expensive i'd personally go for an asus 22" for£238 cant go wrong with that price for 2" less, thats my next upgrade anyways!!

[teknokid]

yeah, althogh im already on 20", as far as reso goes that wouldnt be any more.
Im looking at 24" as its a good deal more reso, and not dreadfully expensive (27+).

[Taxation]

27" here :D

[teknokid]

ahh, but thats not a monitor, its a tv

[system7]

Enlighten me. Those are all 16.7M colour monitors.

Is that a big improvement over 16.2M colours? Is that the main thing to look for?

It's hard to buy a monitor if you haven't seen it in action... :?

wat 22" tft monitor did u have cos im gettin 1 4 crimbo and i was lookin @ the samsung syncmaster or pebble hmmm altho the real pebble i want is the 1 with the gadgets on it which is 20" hmm

[teknokid]

20/22 are same reso, so 22 has bigger pixels and so may not look as good.
the winning on in CPC was a sammy 20", which they found better than all the 22's

[Jonny2Bad]

Well it down to reviews in my case tbh but also all these pc mags that have pictures of the offices seem to run asus 22" monitors lol I think samsung are supposed to be really good also so definately between those 2 for me!!

[teknokid]

yeah, dell, sammy, lg, and asus seem the best.

[djgandy]

They're all TN panels so there's not going to be a lot between them. I think the dell and samsung may even use the same panel.

[teknokid]

ill probs go for dell, dell are good at making screenss :D

[Jonny2Bad]

I'd probably go for the samsung tbh!!

[djgandy]

ill probs go for dell, dell are good at making screenss :D

Dell don't make screens ;)

[teknokid]

they make monitors though :D

that caught my eye, ill wait for some reviews but its dead cheap!!

[Taxation]

its just a brand tekno, theyre screens are probably made by panasonic or lg, your just paying for the label tbh

[djgandy]

Or samsung! The dell monitor looks almost identical to the sammy.

You are also assuming that the dell has a top quality panel. The 30inch dell is an amazing screen. So were the expensive 24's. These newer models are TN panels so there is not really going to be a lot between them. The dell does have usb ports and stuff though, so it might be worth buying on those kind of features if prices are similar.

yeah, i mean i much prefer the look of dell, so ill probs get one of them
