im currently using my panasonic 42" tv for gaming and its started to give me neck strain due to where it is and size.
So im now after going back to a desk and pc monitor again. The question is what to buy as i game on bf3 and have a 7970 sapphire.
Ive read a bit but im getting lost as ips can give ghosting and normal panel viewing angels seem poor from what ive read?

So seen these whats peoples thoughts and is there better ones available for the same sort of money or preferably less.

the benq seems the better monitor but will i need the 3d and 120 refresh .
 
the samsung looks good but i cant afford that :(

the asus is not on ocuk as far as i can see but found else where it has hdmi but no display port, would this still work with 120htz and ati

apparently it will from what i found on google?

Aye, if you run the ASUS using your dual-link DVI output of the graphics card then you will be able to run it at 120Hz.

Hi there, If you are mainly looking for a monitor for fast-paced gaming then I would lean towards 120Hz TN panel monitors over 60Hz IPS monitors. This is because the 120Hz mode offers smoother looking motion and the ghosting is less on TN panels compared to IPS (though IPS monitors can still be used to happpily play most games).

That said, I wouldn't go with that particular BenQ 120Hz monitor, it has some issues (I believe BenQ's replacement is coming out soon). Instead, in the 120Hz realm the current best monitors seem to come from Samsung. There are 23in and 27in versions of their 120Hz monitors and these all work very nicely and look great for gaming.

If these are too expensive, the I would look at the ASUS VG236HE - its a nice 23in 120Hz monitor that does 120Hz via DVI-D. (Please bear in mind that monitors that do 120Hz via DVI-D can't be used with AMD graphics cards for 3D - you need a monitor that does 120Hz via displayport for that)

not sure if i will use 3d or not really but i would still be able to do 120htz via dvi dual link? just how poor or different is a £300 plus monitor gonna make compared to a £180 one?
