or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824160054 Both are same contrast ratio and size. But most importantly, what monitor is better in a sense for gaming? I havent quite figured it out so someone please help. I understand there are 120 hz monitors but those are not completely necessary for sc2 and it costs quite alot. | ||

I use a 120 euro cheap benq 22" monitor and it's great. The only reason for getting a better monitor would be stuff like 3D gaming or requiring better viewing angles and color for photo editing and stuff. | ||

The optimal is a 16: 9 aspect ratio screen as you get more view with that but it's all about personal preference. Some like 4:3 CRT better than widescreen lcd etc. So just pick the one you like the most. everyone tells me 16:10 is better for gaming. Why is that so? What makes 16  better in gaming? | ||

What makes 16 better in gaming?That is highly dependent on the actual resolution the screen provides. Generally though: the more pixels, the better. With 16 by 10 at 1920*1200 pixels you get 120 more vertical pixels than with 16 by 9 at 1920*1080 (a.k.a. 1080p) pixels and in a game like Starcraft simply see more of the map. 1680*1050 however, which is also a 16 by 10 resolution, provides way less screen space with even the vertical resolution being inferior to 1080p so in this case, the 16 by 9 would be the better choice. This graphic shows what I'm talking about quite nicely, although it is a bit cluttered. | ||

[...] Actually, you don't. 16 : 9 > 16 : 10 in SC2. At best, you're trading "side" pixels for "bottom" pixels. ![[image loading]](http://h-6.abload.de/img/sc2_fov36k6.gif) | ||

Get a monitor with 2 MS for better response-time. Also, be sure to read reviews which cover things like ghosting, gamma correction, color correction, etc. | ||
