Need help choosing a monitor

[Dan2000]

I need a TV Monitor that I'am able to watch normal TV and also I need it to be great for gaming. What do you guys recommend? My max budget for the monitor is £150. Please help!

Try using a monitor and plug your tv into an available HDMI port. I'm using a Asus PB278Q, which is connected to my pc, cable, and ps3.

Really any monitor will work but something IPS would have better colors. The Dell S2240M is pretty good.

I'm thinking of getting the SAMSUNG LT24D390EW/EN 24" LED TV Monitor (http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/tv-dvd-audio/televisions/small-screen-tvs-up-to-32/samsung-lt24d390ew-en-24-led-tv-monitor-10005722-pdt.html#cat-0). What do you guys think?

Dont get a tv for gaming its not as fast use a monitor, unless you wanna use it as a living room tv or something. This has a hdmi input but you can also buy a cox cable to hdmi. It what I do. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8128190&SRCCODE=WEBGOOPA&scid=scplp704957&gclid=Cj0KEQjwmLipBRC59O_EqJ_E0asBEiQATYdNhwGaoJs81SkLXTmVOSvse1Jkn_I1uxOcxqYAsE90Zt0aAuv-8P8HAQ

Yeah, but you don't get a remote do you?

[Dan2000]

Also how much real difference is there between a monitor and Tv monitor for casual gaming and in my budget? 

[Dan2000]

Yeah buy a cox to hdmi, I watch tv on this monitor

Also nearly all monitors in my budget have the same response time (5ms) and even worse (7ms)

The one I showed you was 1 ms and was in you're budget, your budget is 224 USD and thats just about with shipping. Yes you get a remote if you buy the hdmi to coax. http://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-HW180STB-HomeWorx-Converter-Recording/dp/B00IYETYX8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429494376&sr=8-1&keywords=homeworx+hw180stb

Ok, but do they ship to the UK because that same one on Amazon.co.uk is over £100?
