23'' as main, 20.4'' on the side but not even currently plugged in. Both widescreen. I'm still not sure widescreen is better for gaming. While it looks better and all, it requires you to shift your sight left to right, which is less intense on a 4:3 "square" monitor.

I have a 23" AOC ultraslim monitor, and it is the absolute sex. It looks way better than the 23.6" ASUS, and certainly better than any LG or Acer.

The slimness is a blessing and a curse; I actually wish it was less slim. Very light so there's no wobbling, but even picking it up you can see the screen bend a little bit, I would be very very scared to take this to any LAN parties.

Edit: By the way, when deciding on size, consider how far away you sit from your monitor. 23" is actually too big for me to play SC2 on, but my desk is very deep, so I can just push the screen back and it's like playing on a 21". The extra size is good for movies and poker though.

This is a good site to compare monitors, such as their input lag and how much ghosting can happen on them. (It doesn't have every monitor in existence , but usually the most popular ones.

Yeah, many monitors are far too fragile to carry them around. The leg under my 24'' LG is so fragile it's scary but the older 20'' thing from HP has a sturdy leg you can hide a keyboard in:

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.


+1 for del U2311H. great IPS monitor.

Currently using a 21" Dell UltraSharp. It's a 4:3 screen, basically one of the last created by Dell. Bought it back in 2005-2006. Great monitor with a native resolution of 1600x1200, but I am definitely wanting to go widescreen in the near future. 24-27" range is what I'll probably end up settling with.

if the screens too big i cant see everything at the same time, and going back = i cant see the things on the screen, i think im using a 22" and its slightly too large but thats just me.

IMO go in the store and look at them and pretend you're playing SC on it then go home and buy it online = save money!
