Hi
Im looking for a 27" monitor primarily for gaming and saw this model wondered if anyone has it, or can recommend me a different one for similar price,if they think they would be better suited ,i was tempted by the dell ultrasharps but not sure if i can run to them, and if they would be good for gaming.

I have just bought one. it's a very nice monitor but i haven't done much gaming on it yet. i got mine for £266 del. so couldn't resist buying it.

Thanks for reply ,is it generally good for web surfing ,clear text etc too, as this is also important to me.And love to hear what you think if you get around to some gaming on it too.

yep, perfect for web and text, I will get the ps3 on in a bit and see how it is.

I have had one of these monitors for a few weeks now. I changed from a Samsung 24" 2443BW.

This is an excellent monitor that I am very pleased with. It does take some setting up as it is VERY bright when first used. Having a play around with the brightness contrast etc soon sorts that out.

The colours are very vibrant compared to the Samsung 2443BW which looked very pale in comparison and text is crisp and clear.

I find this monitor is excellent for games. It took me a while to get used to the size of it, but now I have I don't think I could game on a 24" monitor again... In games the display is very crisp, clear and detailed. I have noticed small details in games that I didn't pick up on the old Samsung and this is probably one of the benefits of a lager monitor.

I mainly play Black Ops multiplayer, Crysis 2 and F12 2010 at the moment. I have not noticed any ghosting in any of these games and they all look fantastic. The main thing that stands out from the Samsung is the colour. All games look much more vibrant with this monitor, again making the Samsung look washed out in comparison.

The only thing I am not 100% about is it has glossy bezel. I prefer the look of a matt black bezel, but that is only a personal preference and a minor niggle. This monitor is definitely a worthy upgrade over my old 2443BW. It is an excellent monitor for the money and I certainly recommend it

Thank you for replies ,sounds like it will be good for my needs mainly playing wow at the moment ,with crysis 2 and got new deux x on the way so looking forward to seeing this ,using a tv at 1360 x 768 at the moment ,so should be big improvement.

Ok ordered one on its way ,shall post my opinion of it when it arrives tomorrow

This is a TN panel ?

Yes it is a TN panel.

k thanks . will look forward to your appraisal .

Posted on some other threads too,but said I would post opinion on here too ,sorry for repeating but ,so far very pleased with the monitor ,gaming wise very good haven't noticed any lag or ghosting,web and text very clear, as a tn obviously best viewed head on but I think very acceptable viewing angles ,only used Dvi so far but that is perfect .I got mine 266 delivered I think very good value for money ,well pleased .

Im looking at getting this monitor; I currently have a ASUS VW266H and thought about selling this one on ebay and upgrading to the one listed in this thread ... any thoughts?
