Hi everyone, this is my first post.
I am having a big trouble choosing a monitor for my gaming rig.
I want a 23" or 24" monitor.
I am between this 3

http://www.comprasparaguai.com.br/monitor-lg-led-ips235...

Also, i am from Paraguay and those are the best displays i could find on the market. (feel free and search in the same webpage of the links for other choices)
Importing from the US is not an option because of the shipping weight of the monitors.
So, the price is not an issue between these 3 displays, i just want to know which one is the best.

Sorry for my horrible English.

I added two more options

the first one is an Acer LCD GD235HZ

and the second is a LG LED IPS234V

On the second one the 14ms response time does it matter or not?

I would not buy the first 2. The first one is AOC, which is kind of like a crappy brand to me. But monitor is a monitor. LG makes great products, but however I would not buy the first one due to it being higher priced and who needs Full3d? Chances are you're not going to use it. IPSis a better option to pay for. Go with the last one if those are your only options.

However I suggest Viewsonic, Samsung, or even a high-end Acer, and BenQ.

there are much converters like dvi-hdmi so the dvi goes in the computer and the hdmi goes in the monitor

Thanks for replying, this community is awesome.
So, i was considering importing the BenQ XL2420T but the shipping weight rises the cost to about 450$. Is it still worth it?

About the 3d and the overpriced thing, as i said, the price between these 5 isn't a problem, and you are right, i won't be using the 3D thing, but i am sure that the extra refresh rate is a good feature in 2D images.

the resonse timedoes really matter its the delay games like guitar hero, heavy rain are really hard to play

response time is when you click it costs the monitor 14ms to recieve it on the screen (can be really annoing)

Thanks for taking your time and helping me, i think i'm going for the AOC, i hope is a good choice. I'll be posting a few pictures when it arrives.
A simple question, my gpu has two dvi and a hdmi port in it, should i use it or buy a dvi to hdmi converter? would there be any difference?
