Ok. I listed to the build for my new computer. I received the parts and built it. Runs perfectly. The computer is a high end gaming computer. I have an old 17 inch CRT monitor still though. I want this gone. I was looking at the Samsung Touch Of Color T240HD 24-Inch LCD HDTV Monitor. I have been reading some reviews saying it is not the best for gaming. I want a 24 inch monitor (if not bigger) and I want it to be $300 dollars or less. Less would be perfect. I was hoping I could be pointed in the right direction for response time from the monitor as well as the picture quality while gaming. If anyone knows of any monitors that can do what I want and be size and money that I am looking for, please post back! Thanks in advance.
Well if your after a gaming monitor, this may not be the perfect choice, as there are monitors with lower response times, although I believe the difference between 2-5ms isnt even noticeable by the human eye. I won a dell 2208wfp. I have no complaints thats for sure.
Here is a nice one from a cheap brand that should be better for you than that samsung: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009167 Here is a nicer unit from LG that costs about $310 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005126 The next step up would be a 27", and they start around $430.
I think I am going with this one now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009167 Thanks for showing it to me. It has better reviews for gaming along with a cheaper price. I just hope I am not one of those people from newegg that get a dead pixel.
All screens sometimes have dead pixels. Personaly, I have seen far more stuck pixels on LG displays than on any other brand, but I think this is at least partialy luck of the draw.
I agree with Killer Bug. Sadly its luck of the draw, and should you get one with dead pixels contact NewEgg ASAP! NewEgg offers excellent customer service most of the time.
In my experience, most modern LCDs fail by having a whole vertical line of pixels fail at once, 1080 pixels on a 1080P screen or 1200 pixels on a full-hd screen. Single stuck pixels are downright rare.
Single stuck/dead pixels or small groups are far more common with high end monitors such as Dell, HP and Viewsonic. Whole lines are common with lower grade monitors, as they are typically monitor failures rather than panel failures. So far I've seen more stuck pixels on Samsungs (but that's irrelevant as I know far more people with samsungs than other brands - my particular samsung has none), and more overall failures on Acer monitors. LG seem to do pretty well. Since most 30" monitors use the same panel they suffer the same level of dead pixels, which isn't very many but there are some that crop up over time (only dead ones however, never seen a stuck pixel on one - dead pixels can often go unnoticed for over a year after they develop if on their own)
