Hey guys I'm considering buying a monitor and I need some advice. There's a lack of reviews on the net regarding monitors and I need some help to get the best monitor for the price.
My choices are (note: all prices are after tax) 1) Samsung 2053BW @ ~ $200 CAD 2) LG W2242TQ-BF @ ~ $238.14 CAD 3) Acer X223WBD @ ~ 197.3475 CAD 4) Samsung Syncmaster 2253BW ~ $ 219.45 CAD 5) LG L226WTY-BF@ ~ $266.49 CAD 6) Anything else that you guys might suggest in the price range of $200 - $270 (Canadian tax included)
Here's what I'm looking at to judge performance: - Any backlight bleeding? - Contrast ratio good? - Design (is it slim or does stick out like a turtle's shell from the back?) - Placement of control keys - Is it egronomic? (can I tilt it?) - Price/performance

Dell Ultrasharp 2009W LCD Monitor. Now I've heard nice things about the "ultrasharp" series but I wanted to know if 5 ms is good enough for gaming since I can't really find the response time for GTG.
I'd like to know as well. I'm getting the Samsung 2053BW @ 187.85 (directcanada.ca). The ratio is 2500:1, is this good for gaming ? I have seriously no idea, some are 1000:1 and others 8000:1.
What should i look for first for a 22 " LCD monitor on a gaming Rig? I got a HD4850, so I'd like a not too crappy screen to go with it.
I just bought a samsung syncmaster t220. Used it in crysis, cod4, WoW, gird. as well as watching movies. seems to be a VERY good monitor, and was only ~$250 at circut city

Do you mind telling us which city it is in? Also does $250 include all the taxes?
I've decided to buy Samsung T220 for about $282.42 (tax and shipping included) from DirectCanada and this monitor overall has been stunning! the only draw back I have is with the toucch power on button. It's not the most sensitive power on button out there so sometimes you have to touch it a few times to get it working =/ Otherwise this monitor is super! The stand didn't wobble a lot for me so it was ok. I do hope that they could make a more sturdier stand though.
