Hey all,

 

I saw this monitor for sale and am wondering if it would be a good monitor for everyday use and gaming?

thanks for the help

The colours on that monitor look seriously terrible. And if I remember correctly ghosting is quite bad as well. My friend owns it and it's seriously bad to the point it will hurt your eyes. 

For the price I can't recommend the IPS S2240M enough. $129 with no mail in rebate nonsense on amazon. Great for gami

yes it would be 2ms is fine. but you'd only have tilt adjustments. But it has VESA mounts so you could upgrade it later

to the OP try to go up to a monitor with a display port if you have a display port available..  A little more expensive though.
