I might be looking for a monitor in the near future and really don't have any idea what to look for with them. I of course want to get the best bang for your buck. I'm not really looking to spend $400 on a monitor but would consider anything below that within reason. I have a Samsung 22in one now that I like but might have to upgrade to a new one soon. I would like to get a 24in and up with of course with a good picture quality.

From my understanding of things it appears somethings to look out for is a low MS rating and a high Ghz rating.

EDIT: The computer is going to be a gaming computer. I'm not going to go crazy with the settings or anything as far as resolution is concerned but like anyone I would like to have a nice clear, clean picture. I mainly play FPS games and also will be running Total War: Rome 2 on this comp for the most part. Those and games like Far Cry 4 and future top tier games. No 4K gaming for me. I will most likely be playing at 1080p for the most part.

EDIT 2:I want a nice smooth online FPS gaming experience above all else. The rest is secondary. I just prefer it when compared to the newest ones like BF4 for some reason.


What are some good suggestions with this?
 


I have an Acer as a secondary monitor that is like 10 years old that still works perfect and I bought a 27" 60Hz 1080p Acer for my main monitor last year that has a great picture compared to some other I checked out at Best Buy and from some reviews on YouTube.

BenQ because their build quality is probably the best. I don't own one but I have seen a few and they are just built really well with great screens.
 


Oh nice. What would be the equivalent BenQ and Acer offer to this one?:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313
 


Acer makes nice displays but I don't believe they make displays above 60Hz. Although BenQ has a crap load of monitors to choose from. I mean a lot. I could recommend some but they are all great.

Here's their link

You can probably find something better. If not that Asus will do you fine. BenQ just has a gigantic selection.
 


Awesome. I will have to look over this site and see what they have. I guess I have all the top contenders and just need to make a choice out of the bunch. I very much appreciate the help from everyone on this.
