First, these are the monitors - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/wZJZ99 - Each of them have similarities and the Acer is cheaper, but..... rather than assume what some of the information means in the descriptions, I'm asking for help from you guys in the know.

1. What is the difference between Analog and Digital input video compatibility along with the differences in the connectors.

2. With contrast Ratio what is the difference between the 100,000,000, 80,000,000, and ?DC 12,000,000?

3. For the Stand Adjustments, does it really matter that one only tilts, while the other 2 do much more?

4. What features should I be looking at when getting a gaming monitor.

Thanks a lot for any help.

Ric

1. Analog video compatibility means the monitor can accept VGA (also called D-SUB) and/or DVI-I connections from the graphics card. Analog signals are not fast enough to produce 120/144Hz. But all 144Hz monitors have at least one digital input (Dual Link DVI or Displayport)

2. The advertised contrast ratio is mostly just marketing gimmick. You will need to check proper monitor reviews to compare their color and contrast accuracy.

3. Stand adjustment are up to you really. If it can rotate it will allow you to do something like this http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v725/l88bastard/crush...

4. All existing 144Hz monitors use TN panels, and have a response time of 1-2ms. Also they usually have anti-glare surface. Speed is a given with these kinds of monitors. Apart form that you can compare viewing angles, color and contrast accuracy, and proprietary features.

Personally I would choose the Asus or BenQ monitor.
