Good 27-inch gaming monitors?

D. Banks

I currently have a Nvidia GeForce 660 GPU but am planning to get a second one and SLI. I want a display, no smaller than 27" that I can run ultra settings on. My price range is around $500. What are some good options? I would really prefer under 5ms response time and the highest resolution possible for that price.

Try benq

Whats the BenQ E2200HD 21.5 monitor like for gaming?

Q. I have been considering buying a hdmi compatible full hd monitor to play my x-box 360 on via hdmi cable and have found a good deal on this monitor. How ever i dont know much about these monitors so your help would be much appreciated.

Answer
The brightness and contrast are not the best, but for a monitor of that price, its a pretty good deal. The response rate is rated at 5ms, again not the best, but decent as you are considering using this on an xbox. Its on the lower end, but it seems like a decent product for the budget minded consumer.

The main things to look for in an LCD monitor are:
Response Rate: This is described in ms, or Milliseconds. Lower is better, less blur with motion. 2ms is best.
Contrast Ratio: This is a ratio that describes the darkness of the black vs the brightness of the white. Higher is better. 10,000:1 is good, anything above is even better.
Brightness: This is the power of the back light, higher is better. 300 is average.

Hope this helps you out.

Best gaming/design monitor?

Daniel

I currently have 2 monitors and I'm looking to replace either 1 or both of them.

- Must be 23 inch or higher.
- IPS is preferred
- Must have HDMI
- I would use it for gaming on both my pc and xbox 360. I have a very high end video card. (Consider response times)
- I'm a part time graphic design freelancer so I require something with atleast moderate colour accuracy.

Thanks in advance! :)

I have the BenQ G2420hd, it's a really good monitor and I've had no problems at all with it.

I purchased it for $235 about 2 - 3 years ago, but now it retails at around $170 (AU) which shows it has held it's price a fair bit.
Eventually I'll upgrade and get 2 more of them :)

How fast is your monitor?

Brad G

How fast is the fastest refresh rate for any computer monitor at a decent resolution, such as 1280 x 1024 or larger? I am not talking about response time, that is not the same as refresh rate. Thanks.

Answer
My Pro Gaming Monitor ( BenQ XL2410T ) has a Native Resolution of 1920 x 1080 , @ 2 ms and @ True 120 Hz. This monitor was co designed with HeatoN and SpawN and a gaming company named Zowie. True real gaming monitors do not have IPS or VA panels, they use TN.

And what setting could they run Skyrim on, Medium, High, Ultra or?

Answer
Windows 8 isn't really good for gaming any way you slice it, so try to look for a Windows 7 model instead.

Also, you forgot to mention what graphics card is in the first configuration. You just said "Radeon Graphics"

But from what you have posted, I'm pretty sure the second one would be good for gaming (and if I had to guess is probably cheaper than the first). The 120g SSD will be great for holding the operating system, and the 1TB HDD that goes with it will be able to hold a lot of games on it!

The first configuration may have two SSDs, but I don't really see a reason for it! What are you supposed to keep on the second one? Also 32GB is serious overkill when it comes to RAM. I have 8g on my gaming rig and have only seen the RAM usage go above 70% ONCE.

Not to mention, the first setup has about HALF the power usage of the second one (which makes me assume the first's graphics card is not so great), comparing the first's 350w PSU to the second's 600 watt. And the first setup's compact case? BLAH! Think of all the overheat problems you'll get!

Finally, the second one comes with way a way better mouse and keyboard, which is a plus! Only advantage I see in the first configuration is that the Benq IPS 27" monitor would look pretty sexy, but that doesn't mean much if what's inside the computer doesnt live up to the display!

TL;DR - second rig, hands down

As for Skyrim, hat second configuration most likely will be able to play on Ultra at a very comfortable frame-rate. If not that, it'll play it on high FOR SURE, and you probably won't see a difference between Ultra and High, anyways.

A good configuration for gaming at a 1280 x 1024 resolution?
