hi guys,
so im looking for a new monitor for lightweight gaming and in 20-22inch (not any higher as it wont fit my table). Price not more than $200, adjustable stand height is a plus but not necessary, my Graphics card is geforce 9600gt if that helps.
so i have been looking around and found that the Asus 21.5inch LPS panel vx229h is pretty good for its price for $169 at msy. What do u guys think about this monitor, the asus brand, price, other monitors in this price range?
another competitor is the Asus VX228H 21.5-Inch but it is TN panel but has a 1ms refresh rate compared to the vx229h of 5ms. It is also slightly cheaper. Im guessing the clarity of this one wont be on par with the vx229h.
and then theres samsung LS22D300HY TN panel similar specs to the above just less brightness and contrast but even more cheaper.
Do you guys have any other recommendations? know any bargain/deals at the moment?
9600GT… oh my the nostalgia.
Few people can perceive the difference between a 2ms and 5ms monitor, so I don't see an issue with an IPS monitor being used for games. Refresh rate is not everything to a gaming panel — there's also input lag to consider. This spec is not usually listed but it can be tested and is documented at display lag database.
Do not worry about the dynamic contrast ratio specs, these are easily fudged by the manufacturer and they mean nothing in real life.
You're not going to get cheap, high colour accuracy and fast refresh rate in all one package. Pick only two. Generally for gaming, TN panels feature the best pixel response times, and it's also the only option you get when you wish to get a 144hz monitor for a budget price. IPS 144hz panels now exist (only released recently) but comes at premium price.
