Good PC gaming monitor?

KewlzYo

Right now I'm using a 1440x900 Samsung 19' monitor for all my gaming, but I'm looking to get something bigger.

The specs I want are 1920x1200 resolution (only 16:10 ratios, not a fan of the TV style 16:9), with a size of 24". Under 6ms lag would be cool also.

Any brand, and obviously cheaper is better... ;)

Thanks!

Answer
Any monitor you get that is bigger will work, what you should look into if you're worried about the resolution is your graphics card. Every graphics card has a limit to the resolution that they're capably of displaying. Mine, for example, is capable of displaying only up to 1440x900 (ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO). Check your settings on your current gfx card by going to the desktop settings and seeing what the max possible resolution is on yours. If yours can display what you're looking for, then just get a bigger monitor, preferably one with HD capabilities. If you can't display the resolution you're looking for, get a new graphics card along with your new monitor.

I have a 29inch widescreen now but its pretty old, it has a fast resolution and i see no lag or ghosting, i would like to go bigger, also with my monitor its default resolution is 1900/1200 which makes everything really small, is there a way to change the default resolution to make things bigger on the screen, like i want my icons the size of 50cent peaces!
*are HDTV have the fast refresh needed for PC gameing? as far as ive seen TYs dont work good for comp gaming because the refresh is to slow

*and needed the larger screen because the lazyboy i play incant recline at a desk so monitor is on a TV stand, the screen is the right size but the writing and icons on the screen are way to small, i just figured if i got a bigger screen i could drop the rez down to like 1400/900 and be fine
and it seems with TVs refresh, they slow down with size unless you pay alot more, or do the new HDTVs negate this old problem?
* not for console gaming only do comp gaming

Answer
Real gamers don't use > 24" screens. Anything bigger than 24 inches means you have to sit too far from the screen and you don't get any better pixel density (ie, a 24" screen with 1920/1200 is going to look better than a 32" screen with 1920/1200). 24" on a desk totally will fill your vision.
