I've been looking for a good gaming monitor on a budget. Any ideas?

gaming monitor worth it image

Steven Lee

Specifically speaking, I want them to look good for both games and documents. Because I hear that sometimes good gaming monitors have trouble displaying text right. Anyways my budget is 350, so it can be up to that but not above. Unless the ones above are really worth the extra money. I'd appreciate any help guys.

Answer
Earlier this year Consumer Reports reviewed LCD monitors like they do every year. In the 22" Wide Screen and larger category the winner was the Acer P221w. I had bought that same monitor the month before and I totally agree with Consumer Reports. Excellent display quality both in and out of games.

2500:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
5ms Response Time
1680x1050 Resolution

For $350 you could probably find some 24" or even 26" monitor but they will not be as good as far as quality. 22" is still very large and you'll appreciate the better picture.

is it possible to use a Computer Monitor that has an HDMI as tv?

Weech0

so im thinking of buyin a gaming monitor but i also want to use it as a TV. will it work if it has an hdmi? if not what will i need to make it work.

Answer
yes that will work. Considering you have DirecTV, Dish, or HD Cable box with a HDMI out. If you have Rabbit ears or a giant antenna outside then you will need a HD converter/tuner box. then it is not worth it.

How is the economy of Final Fantasy XI online messed up?

Alex

I have heard how people have been talking about how the "economy" of FFXI Online is messed up. I dont get this, it isn't real life, its not like the game monitors or whoever can't fix it. I just don't get it how the economy is "messed up" if its not even real. Someone please help me on this

Answer
True that this is not real life. However people are on this game 24 hours a day. And other than maintenance, the servers don't shut down. When people say that the game economy is messed up, they mean that inflation is up. Or a piece of gear that should only be worth 100 is selling for 10000. Example. 3 years ago, you could get a teleport for 500gil to any normal crag. Outland ports were 1000gil. now its 2000 for all. RMT(Real Money Traders) have flooded the markets with so much of one item that it drastically lowers the price of that object because they underbid (sell for less) the other people selling.

Then there are the people who actually pay real money to these RMT and in return they are given a large sum of game money. These are the people who raise the prices on misc items. They want the item so bad that they over pay and so the price starts to hover around that price making it cost more than its actually worth.

That's what is meant by the economy being messed up. Sorry for the book, but i thought the others were to vague
