I'm not quite sure where I should post this question, so I'll try here and hopefully that'll be ok!
I just built myself a new gaming computer. I only play 2 games on it. Unreal Tournament 3 (UT3) and the original (keepin' it old school!) Unreal Tournament (UT99).
My graphics card is a NVIDIA 9800 GT. It's all I need for the games I play and anything else that I'll do with the machine.
I'm looking for a new LCD monitor for my new rig. I'd prefer a 22", but I would definitely consider anything in the 19"-24" range.
I've pretty much exhausted my searches for reviews on monitors online. It's so difficult to find legitimate helpful information. Most of the reviews seem to favor Dell (ultrasharp) monitors, but I've also read an equal number of negative reviews on these monitors. This is what leads me to post this thread here. I really need help choosing the best monitor for my money.
I'm not too concerned with how much I'll spend on the monitor, however, I would like to keep it under $500. The less, the better! $300-350 would be ideal, but I am definitely willing to spend more money for quality.
I won't be watching many dvd's on it since in the room next door is my "theater room"
I have to admit, I am a bit of a Samsung fanboy, but I haven't found a really good Samsung monitor, yet. It seems a lot of my google searches lead me to old models that aren't even produced anymore - a huge annoyance and another reason why I'm making this post here.
Any and all input will be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys. -Don
