[quote=DEWO]Ok lets get this done. Your choice on the size is quite wide. If you are plannin to play with xbox on in you are probably looking for something with native resolution of 1080p. That is why 2233RZ that i bought cant be taken into consideration, not even mentioning DVI only input. Other thing why LED? You just want to be trendy or you realy care about power consumption on your monitor? Today's LED's are only viable as a display in Laptops that needs longlasting panels to mainain decent amount on battery life. If I would put you in front of medicore LCD and medicore LED, you will see no diference at all. Ofc you will see the diference if you would put a crap LCD in front of crap LED you would notice a bit better black to white scaling on the LED, but usualy it wont be something to put alll the money on. I would focus myself on stuff that matters instead of things that look shiny on the box. LG W2363D is a decent 120Hz monitor. His input lag that matters for online dynamic games (mainly fast FPS games) is negletable. It is full 1080p so fits your choice for xbox, also it fits it by having 2x HDMI ports. The bad things about this particular monitor is the mainly the colors. Blacks will be black but i've heard that this monitor can have some brighter and darker places on the screen that leads to conclusion about not beeing highlighted good. Also the whites on this screen can be a bit "blue'ish" [img]http://img1.lesnumeriques.com/produits/35/7710/W2363D-gris.jpg[/img] It is quite pricy for what it represents. Samsung S23A550H is a very nice looking monitor but as far as i know it hasnt been tested properly. I wouldnt buy it without seeing any of the decent reviewers not even considering to run some test on it :P And looks are the last place in my "pick-a-monitor dictionary" //SIDENOTE Damn i am getting realy annoyed by those nyan nyan cats now scrolling up and down on this site... //END SIDENOTE Ok what i would recomend. Note that this is NOT listed from best to worst. Just tell me what you think about them. I'll try to cover Pros and cons on those. From 21.5" BenQ E2220HD From 22": LG Flatron IPS226V Iiyama Prolite E2210HDS BenQ G2220HD LG W2220P (you need the newest one since it had flaws at start of distribution - about 04.2010) From 23": Asus VG236H Dell P2310H From 24": Acer GD245HQ Well picking 24" for the price you want to give... is a missunderstanding imho. You can get even a 32" but the quality of the product here will be VERY poor. If you would like to see the non 1080p monitors i can blindly say that you can go: Samsung 2233RZ Dell 2209WA ViewSonic VX2268WM Iiyama ProLite B2206WS I know that is alot of models but you should aim somewhere on those in my opinion. Didnt look at the pricings since they vary on diferent countires so keep attension on this :P Tell me what do you think what are your picks and why? And i'll try to narrow it down to 1. Have fun :P[/quote]

[quote=DEWO][quote=wRAthoFVuLK] Well since we are on this topic. DEWO, what would you say is currently the best graphics card in terms of performance, lag, and compatibility with upcoming, better graphic games as well? I plan on building my own computer soon :3 [/quote] That i stoo wide question... The answer is simple :P but i dont think it will be something you were looking for... Atm the best graphic card in terms of perfomrance is: Radeon HD6990 and GF 590 :P Just check the price on these babies :P It all depends on: What CPU do you have (or plan to have) What kind of monitor you have (or plan to have) What kind of funds you have for this. More info = more precise answer. I bought i5 2500k and MSI GF 570 Twin Frozr II OC I would probably go for Radeon HD 6970 also on Twin Frozr II but as i picked 120Hz monitor i went nVidia not to have any problems. Also i will be playing on 1050p resolutions. PS. sry for double post.[/quote]
