Purchasing a new monitor today.

[reco1977]

Hello everyone,

I am looking to buy a new monitor today. My old monitor (Benq 24" 1920x1200) has finaly kicked the bucket so its time to purchase a new one.

I will deffinitely be buying today and I am only able to purchase from best buy as I have some vouchers that havent been spent from Christmas.

*Monitor section of the BB website*

What monitor would you guys recommend for gaming? I would like to stay with the 24" +/- an inch or so.

I would prefer not to go over the $250 price tag but if you see something that is slightly over I guess I could dig a little deeper into my pockets.

Thanks in advance for reading the post

Richard

If you are still looking, consider the Dell WFP2208. It is an ultra sharp monitor. I have two of these running as dual monitors for over 2 years. I bought both refurbished (fancy word for 'used').

Hmm... Best buy really limits your choices. I'd just grab an Asus or a Samsung. (I don't think BB carries any of Dell's or HP's good monitors). Don't spend much more than $200.

If by some miracle they carry a dell u2312hm, get that.
