I have a HP ZR24w (16:10), which is a not wide gamut IPS panel, if that's of any value to you. Now that I'm used to a 24" monitor, I would say go with 27".

Short of a high speed camera anything under 8ms is really hard to pick up on. the pixel response doesn't have much to do with the actual input latency of the monitor. Although if you are one of those people view sonic sells 120hz which have across the board better response times then the avg monitor, or you can buy the 1ms monitor, but it's likely under a gaming preset that turns off some things and really dips in the image quality. to me i rather spend that kind of money on a ips monitor from them and get better viewing angles and color accuracy.


So it really isn't worth the money for a 2ms monitor over a 5ms? Unless you have the extra cash?

I've used a 19" AG Neovo S-19 monitor for the past 4 years, and I don't think I'll ever switch to widescreen (though I may be forced to eventually). Widescreen monitors tend to have too much space, which makes me sick.

I'm using a Acer 23" 1080P monitor and it's awesome. I use it both for my computer and my PS3.

What hes saying is a lot of manufacturers skew the stats on pixel response times by measuring different things, grey to grey is different from black to white. It's very hard to just sit there, make a comparison, and say for certain that one is better than the other.

Really... as long as the monitor you buy is a decent brand (Asus, Acer and Benq are some safe ones) and was manufactured in the past year or so you will be fine.

Unless you do a lot of graphics work I would just stick with cheaper TN panels because in general they have better response times.

actually they don't fudge it that much but they usually only tell you gray to gray or black to white which more to hints to performance then the whole gambit of what could be
[image loading]
The 1ms gray to gray viewsonic on the left and a Dell U2711 on the right which is a larger IPS avg of 6ms gray to gray. Most now only show gray to gray it's not so much manufacturing skewing that result it's just that they skew everything else dealing with picture quality.

Like i said short of a high speed camera you're unlikely to notice. What you would notice in a side by side, is color, brightness, bleed though and viewing angles which not all monitors are so numb to. the 1ms viewsonic although may be fine for games it's just really washed out in the color department partly due to the bleed though and no matter how much you tweak it will never be just right.

I way saying although the speed is measurable it's not very important in good quality picture which is what you buy a monitor for, i rather invest in one with a good stand that doesn't just tilt, one that can hit the colors properly with minor tweaking, one who doesn't have too much light or not enough in it. Also most monitors at the sub 300 range by default are so bright they burn your eyes out if you didn't have a well lit room all the time.

I currently use a AOC 416V 24" Monitor. At 1920x1200 really awesome clear Picture have it for about 3-4 Years now and no Problem with it got it really cheap for about 100€ something back then no regrets will only change if some technical Probs come up.

Only Gripe I have thats why I do not necessary recommend this Monitor nowadays you only have 1 VGA Port and 1 DVI thats it no HDMI and i have to use lotse adapters for the DVI Port I finally got a Switch Port so I can change between PC use and PS3 without having to change the Cables everytime arround and its really compfy.
I give up, I just don't know what to write here.

I have the Dell 3008WFP (I think this is the number) the 30" 2560x1600, it really is great and everything but more and more I think that maybe having such a big screen is bad for playing SC2, but I never try anything different so I dont know. Maybe im just being Paranoid about it.

What do you guys think?

23" monitor is just right for sc2. 1080p. big enough to see everything but not too big to where you cant focus on everything that is on the screen.

24" of 1080p beauty. :D


On that note, I would highly, HIGHLY recommend the OP to stay WAYYYYY away from "1080p" or "HD" monitors. That is actually an extremely low resolution for a monitor that big (not saying they are bad, but if you're gonna spend that much money get more pixels!)

So you're saying go spend twice as much money to get a monitor like your's?
For normal people not converting their computer into a home entertainment center, or doing some sort of high precision graphic design, a 24" HD monitor is fine for an average budget. Not everyone wants to go spend $250 on a 27 inch monitor that doesn't have HD =/


What do you mean that doesn't have HD? HD is a resolution.. all monitors have a resolution. HD just happens to be a low one.

And last I checked there was little price difference between a big monitor with a decent resolution and a big monitor with a terribad resolution, mostly because uninformed individuals like yourself mistakenly believe "HD" is good in some way.

What are you talking about? What resolution are you talking about?

1080P HD is the most common HD computer monitors. 1080P is perfect. HD is not "low" or "terribad"

If youre saying only 2560 x 1600 is the only way to go, please show us something that isn't ridiculously expensive.

You sound like the one that is uninformed, plus youre completely derailing this thread.

I have a Dell U2311H. One of the best computer IPS monitors on the market that is 300$ or less if you can get it on sale.


It derails the topic when people like you reply just to start arguments and spew pure misinformation like "HD>not HD". It would continue to derail the thread if I continued to argue with you, so I will not.

The bottom line is 2560x1600 is better in every way, and "HD" is likely the lowest resolution you'll ever find on a monitor 24 inches or bigger. When I purchased my monitor the price ended up being less than if I had gone with a low resolution "HD" monitor. Granted, that was partially due to buying my computer at the same time.

Just trying to provide useful info to the OP.

Wow! Thanks man. Didn't know that really. Grats...

23.6" 1080p Asus VH242H

One weird thing with this monitor is that occasionally it has a pretty big input lag, and then later in the day the lag will magically go away without me doing anything about it O.o Kind of wish I knew why it was doing that so I could make it have no lag whenever I want

Dual 23", love the size I feel it's just right. Though, I upgraded from a 15.6 screen off my laptop and it was overwhelming at first.

19" widescreen 1440x900 16:10. Samsung Syncmaster 940BW. Then a 32" 1080p TV as second monitor.

Thinking of upgrading my 19", it's getting kinda old. But still works wonders for StartCraft 2!

And whats the point using 1080p on that small screen ?
U cant even see the difference between 720p and 1080p on 32-38" screens.

22" Dell 2209WA with s-IPS ( best for games ) here.
I'm getting the derection.

17" monitor and not having enough space? I have one myself and I think it's fine. Never had the problem with 'not having enough space on my desktop'.
EDIT: Then again, if you're buying a monitor, go for 1920x1080 one. They usually don't destroy your bank balance completely, and you'll certainly will have more than enough space on your desktop (providing of course, that you got the hardware capable to support everything you want on that resolution).
