I am on the lookout for a new monitor as my 3 year old has scratched the heck out of the screen of my current one with a screwdriver .
I have found one with a glass screen which I am attracted to for the obvious reasons, but I have no idea about specs etc, and this would be my first wide-screen monitor.
I use my PC for office apps and games, such as CoD4, Crysis etc. Looking at the specs below, would this monitor be good enough for gaming?
I'm not after huge resolutions etc, I have been happy enough with my 17" Acer AL1715, which was just a budget monitor.
