Hi all can you spec me the best monitor I should get for using mainly for wow, swtor and possiblely some blu ray films.

Budget up to 225.00 rather spend less if poss but if there is a huge difference in quality can go over budget if necessary.

24 inch or larger.

Many thanks
 
Whats it like for online fps like MW2 ? Response rate looks worrying :(

I'm what you could describe as an 'avid' COD player (nearly 270 hours on MW2, 80 hours on BlOps already), and I felt little difference between a Samsung 2233RZ and the 2311H. Sure it was a little laggier, but nowhere near as bad as some would claim. As for the response rate, it's irrelevant to be honest - I believe the 1ms/2ms claims are grey to grey, whilst the IPS panels measured in the same way come in around 5 or 6ms (could be wrong of course, but I seem to remember reading that somewhere). It's certainly not a hindrance, and the monitor is just so much nicer than a TN panel it's got to be worth the extra.

The 2311H can be had for £230 new (from a reputable retailer) with a little looking...
 
Thank you, is the quality and slight size decrease from the benq 24" worth the extra cash?

Will be using an i52500k @ 4.6 with gtx 580 (1536) on a new system so I don't really mind going over budget won't be a problem if you guys advise something of a lot better quality, as I have never played mmo's on a resi more than 1080.

Would I even notice it playing an mmo to justify £400 let's say?

Cheers!
 
Yep no hdmi I can live with that for that price. Ye the link was via a review site, tried there also for the ultrasharp 24 inch which is the one I wanted but that one wasn't cheaper anywhere I looked 450 plus everywhere.

I'm no expert but can't you buy some lead to connect to it for hdmi?
