Hi,
My mom needs a monitor for her new computer so I'm giving my old to her so I need to buy a new one for me. I don't have a lot of money to spend so I have to keep it quite cheap. I play games and use 3dstudio and photoshop. But since monitors are required for photoshoping requires better panels than TN I chose four cheap gaming monitors as a base:

Samsung 206BW
LG L206WTQ-WF
Asus MW201U
Asus VW222

those four are probably identical (except for the last one which is 22" instead of 20"), but I still want to hear from you which one is the better. Or if you have a better suggestion I'm happy to hear that. But keep in mind that I don't have a lot of money to spend so keep it to the price range of the above monitors. Oh and I live in Sweden so no links to best buy or something like that thanks.

I think those are all tn panels. I going off the response time and viewing angle. Look for something with a viewing angle higher than 170(but not 170) and a response time of 5ms or higher and you have something other than TN.

TN panels also tend to be glossy.
