Best Gaming 22" Monitor under £200

[sirlankyboy]

Hello,

I have just fitted a radeon hd 6950 2gb IceQ x turbo grahphics card to my system.

I currently use a Syncmaster T200 monitor but i am getting lag on it and i want to upgrade to something that can show the power of the graphics card.

is there anything anyone can recommend for under £200. the largest i can go is maybe 23".

I would pay a little more if its worth it. I am not sure wether LED or LCD is best and wether 2ms refresh rate or going 5ms makes a real difference.

I will be playing action games such as battlefield3 & COD.

I am in the US so I don't know what the prices are in the UK but anything with 2-5MS is good...and you definitely want an LED LCD..the colours are much more vibrant. Don't fall for that contrast ratio hype too..My brother has this one and its really good. People like the Samsung too due to its colours.

Cheers thats a real help.

Wish i could fit a 24" screen on my desk but i would be sitting with my face a few feet away from the screen.

The Samsung sounds good from the reviews, ill take a good look at that!

There both within my price range in the UK which is good.

Looking at the Asus it does look superb and the reviews are top class for 2D graphics.

Its a little over budget but it will be an option. I suppose it is future proof.

The bundles for 3D seem to be Nvidia only. Is that right as my graphics card is Radeon, would that be a problem?
