Which 23 inch monitor should I get for gaming? - Blu-ray Forum

PCFan · 08-27-2009, 04:00 AM

I was thinking about upgrading to a 16:9 23 inch 1080p monitor. I prefer not to have a glossy screen. I really don't care for HDMI inputs because I will eventually buy a new 1080P HDTV to replace my 768P HDTV for movie watching, I just want a really good 22-23 inch monitor for PC gaming and internet. Is the Dell S2309W a good choice? What about the LG 23 inch one with the 50:000 dynamic contrast ratio and 2ms response time? I'm looking for one with good black levels and good viewing angles for a TN panel. I also want one that can allow me to disable dynamic contrast if it uses dynamic contrast.

Well I think both monitors are pretty equal. The human eye will never be able to pick up 50:000 to 1 contrast ratio on a 23 inch screen, or pretty much any size domestic sized screen imo. I would go with the cheaper one more than likely, or at least read some owners reviews.

I can tell you I saw the LGs at Fry's when I was training in Chicago...

WOW...

Not one other monitor in the store held a candle to them.
