Hi All,

Looking to invest in a new monitor in the next month or so.

I'm agonising between a 120hz monitor (possibly the currently available 23" Asus), or going for the Dell U2711.

None of the 120hz monitors seem to get exceptionally good reviews when using it as a 2D monitor (I am not interested in 3D at all).

However, whilst the U2711 seems to fare very well with image quality etc, a few have grumbled about input lag for gaming, which will be the primary use.

Another option is to wait for the 27" Asus 120Hz screen, but I'm assuming for now that's going to get similar reviews to the 23" regarding image quality etc.

I currently have a 22" Samsung SyncMaster P2250, which I bought before I built my gaming rig, primarily to use as a 2nd monitor for my company laptop as I am lucky that I can work from home 90% of the time, and it's done a stellar job. Just looking for something a bit bigger & better.

Is the U2711 going to be any better/worse than my current Samsung for gaming. If not, I think that's probably my favourite option at the moment.

Many thanks in advance!

Jim
