Advice on second monitor for internet

PatZ1989 · 13 Aug 2010 at 10:53

Okay, well i want to have a second monitor for internet browsing etc while my main is for gaming at the same time

Do i be mature and logical and buy a cheap 19" lcd for this second one

OR do i do what the 15 year old in me wants to do, move my 22" samsung over to be a second monitor and buy myself a nice new gaming one

i ask this fully knowing i will go with option two, SO, can anyone recommend a good 22" gaming monitor? 100-200 pref

Thanks

If your budget is up to 200 I would be looking at 24" monitors.

An extra 40 and your in 27" territory.

yeah the 22" isnt a money thing though its just a size thing, i dont want it to dwarf the other one too much etc

a DVI cable?

check out 24inch monitors esp in the £200 price range...how about the BenQ for around £160? Seems to get very positive reviews, only downside is there is no HDMI input sadly. If gaming do you mean Xbox or PS3, if so will you need integrated speakers or not?

fortunately my HDMI input is going to my TV so thats okay, i plan to use DVI for this. and i mean gaming as in PC gaming. maybe a higher refresh rate or something would be useful? not sure.
