Good gaming pc monitor around 150-180$

LED? As big as possible? Do you care about refresh rate, and are you going to want speakers on it through using an HDMI cable?

For $180 I would recomend this

For $150 you might want to try this.

Firstly there is no perfect monitor.
I'm going to list you three very good monitors, each with its own strenghts and weaknesses.

DELL S2440L
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Excellent picture quality and contrast, moderate response time, reflective

LG IPS231B-BN
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Excellent picture quality, excellent viewing angles, moderate reaction time

Asus VS247H-P

Good image quality, excellent response time

I had the Dell S2440L and S2240L side by side. The S2240L had much better colors and I didn't notice any problems with gaming.
I recommend the S2340L. It's IPS like the 22 and not VA like the 24. I will be getting 3 of them if they go back down to $170. In conclusion don't get S2440L

Budget Gaming Monitors
