Hey everyone, after getting my gaming comp build done I'm stuck with the task of finding a budget gaming monitor. So far the BenQ Gaming Monitor RL2455HM (24-Inch LED) comes up a lot for about $200. My budget is from anywhere to about $250 and anything 24" (preferred) or bigger is fine.

Edit: IPS may be the way to go here (after reading this: http://hubpages.com/hub/Best-IPS-Monitor-for-Gaming). Back to square 1.

Please let me know your thoughts or any recommendations, thanks :)

Edit: Might go with the LG one because i doubt this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dell-Monitor-U2412M-24-034-24-inc…) will ever happen again :(

Go IPS, it's not that much more, worth the penny. Got it from MSY, poor customer service but good prices. I stayed away from BenQ, previous dual LCD monitors died almost about the same time just under 2years. I'm happy with my LG's

  This one looks like it fits the bill for me http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/lg-24mp55vq-p-24-inch-…
  
  Any thoughts on this one? (it's LG so that's a plus I guess lol)

    Go to http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ and look at the input lag of the monitors you wish to buy. The lower the better.
    
    Also: Generally speaking IPS panels, typically in the budget range, do not have pixel response rates as fast as traditional TN panels.

      But that really matters less if your not playing FPS games also.

My suggestion is the Samsun gS24D590PL

or the BenQ RL2455HM

  Thanks, I'm looking out for the U2412M (currently on sale for $319) but I'll buy it when it drops in price again. Cheers

I got a monitor for $3 bucks from a garage sale that works pretty good as my gaming monitor :3 THAT is the true OzBargainer monitor.
