Mostly fps gaming and point & click. Not alot of leg room for a small budget and my strong preference for the thin bezel, I know but I'm hoping for the least glow and ghosting possible for the price. Give me your best suggestions!

 

I was looking at these but I'm not sure which one...

 

Acer H236HL bid 23-Inc

 

 

 

AOC IPS i2367Fh 23-Inc

+1 for the Acer. Reviews for the AOC were generally poor IIRC.

Also, check out the Dell. It is a good deal.

The AOC one has a very thin bezel. They do try to trick you a bit, so you'll want to see some reviews but it's pretty thin.

Ah, good to hear personal experience. May I ask what games you typically play on it and how you feel about the glossy screen?

The matte finish is what drew me to it next to the thin bezel. Yeah I understand both of these models have this faux-thin bezel. I still like them.

I play BF4,L4D2 on it at the moment oh and I have my PS3 hooked up to it which I play COD on it (Don't hate just testing things out lately) and I love the glossy screen is super reflective :c but I don't notice it in games. The colours it gives are amazing and only with a 5ms response time, nothing more I could have asked for. One of my most favourite purchases. :D

That dell has a pretty obnoxious white stand, could it be much better than the acer performance wise?
