Best gaming monitor

I have this ViewSonic monitor now which I like, but it's nothing amazing:

Having read this thread I just bought the Dell 2740L from Amazon hoping it will be a decent upgrade:

Good choice?

This is the monitor I have now. It's pretty good. I'm replacing it though because I hear IPS screens are much better and I think I'd prefer a glossy screen for gaming.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I've got a Dell 2311U and Asus VH236H, but I want to upgrade. Don't like the anti-glare coating on the Dell and the black levels aren't great, and the Asus is a TN panel, so it just kinda sucks. And both monitors are too goddamn small.
Anyone know anything about the Asus VX279H? Here's the link: http://www.asus.com/Monitors_Projectors/VX279H/#overview
Its just 1080p, which is low for a 27", but I'm guessing that won't make much of a difference if I'm sitting a few feet back... that, and it's a hell of a lot easier to run games at 1080p than anything higher. And I might occasionally use consoles on them. But I dunno. Maybe there's a better choice. I just want something good, both in image quality and gaming performance, even if I have to spend a bit more to get it.

I have an LED IPS monitor from HP and the colors are amazing, blows my LCD Samsung out of the water although it's a bit smaller. The best ones are probably those korean made IPS ones, there's a thread on here somewhere already
So, I need a new monitor. I can't decide how much money to spend on it, but I've a cheaper and more expensive one picked out.
Cheaper:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BSOT2LA/
Expensive:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00A4K9KBQ/
The speakers in the more expensive one aren't absolutely vital because I have a Sony Pulse headset which works fine for the PC, but they would certainly be nice to have.
Any thoughts, will the cheaper one do the trick? If so might just go for it. Any other suggestions?

Is there a dedicated monitor thread similar to the PC ones in terms of information presented? Would like to learn about some of the differences in more detail.
In any case, are there any good 3D monitors for around 3-400 dollars? If not what's the best 120 Hz monitor around that price range? The TV I've been using via HDMI is starting to lose some of its luster very slowly after 6 or so years. It's still perfectly fine, but I've been wanting to make the jump to 120 for a while now.

I got the ASUS VG248QE and I'm extremely happy with it. (Gaming-centric review here.) This monitor has excellent color and insanely low input lag. Playing motion-intensive games with Lightboost is a whole new world. For $270 it's a fantastic purchase.
do you know how much the input lag is? I was considering getting that one but got a ASUS PA248Q instead.
The Asus VG248QE has negligible input lag, and the motion resolution with LightBoost is as good as a CRT monitor. It's pretty much the best gaming monitor out there as far as motion goes.
But no, the colors are not good, especially with LightBoost on. Still, I think it's a price well worth paying if you're playing competitive games.

Thanks guys! The local microcenter has one so I think I'll go pick up one up in an hour or two. Can't wait to finally see what 120 Hz looks like!
One question though, not really sure what the Nvidia vision stuff is all about. The monitor supports 3D from blu-ray and PS3 games as well right?

1 frame. Seriously. Take a look at this chart:
but the Tom's Hardware review I linked above has a lot more detail.
Compared to what? Yes, it's a TN (with all the compromises that entails), but that's what you're getting if you buy a 120/144Hz screen today. For a TN screen that focuses first on the motion side of things, it's got good contrast levels and solid gamut coverage. You wouldn't buy this monitor to do photo work, but measuring color and contrast for gaming purposes?
LightBoost unavoidably slaughters color and brightness just by virtue of how the technology works. You gotta just accept that going in if you're gonna use it. (Luckily this is a super bright monitor to start with which helps a bit with the latter.)

I think the PS3 only supports displays with a built-in IR emitter (i.e. not this one) but don't quote me on that, I haven't ever used the PS3 3D.

I'm looking for a good and cheap 1080P gaming monitor with Audio output and HDMI input for Next-Gen console gaming(No room for a big screen). Would love to hear from fellow gaffers on the best and cheapest gaming monitor in the market.
The BenQ GL2450HM 24" seems to get good reviews as being both decent and very well priced (£110 from Amazon in the UK) I'm guesing 2ms is good for gaming. I know it's not an IPS but seems good that I might have to pick up one for myself! (to upgrade an old dell ultrasharp 1650x1050)
*Edit - Also I'm not sure about the audio side i think it has a headphone jack?
**double edit - it turns out you have to turn on the Advanced Motion Accelerator (AMA) in order to really benefit gaming wise with this monitor
hey guys, anyone can help me with this? I'm looking for a good 23" monitor without spending an arm and a leg. I have my eyes on a couple models, the LG IPS237-BN and Dell UltraSharp U2312HM. Which one is better for gaming and overall purposes? Do you have other reccomendations? Are there brands like Acer, AOC, Samsung with better examples?
I just got this ASUS 24-Inch Full-HD LED Monitor with Integrated Speakers from Amazon today for my 2nd monitor. My first monitor is a 27 inch version and I love both of them. A lot of inputs, colors are great, and they have pretty customizable settings.
good ty, another one to add to the list, seems snazzy enough. Anyone else with advice on the two I posted before? I'm so undecided!
