;Ok so I need a good monitor for gaming, I don't really play competitive games only like one or 2, I have a few fps games and I need to get a monitor 180 Euros or less no more (maybe like 20 more at most).

I have a couple monitors in mind but I have no idea if they are good for gaming.

 

LG 25UM57-P: http://www.monitorstore.be/product/573563/category-220902/lg-25um57-p.html (advertised as a gaming monitor)

SAMSUNG LS24E510CS: http://www.mediamarkt.be/nl/product/_samsung-ls24e510cs-en-24-full-hd-led-curved-1474470.html (no idea if its for gaming, just think its cool)

 

So those are two I had in mind, can you please tell me if they are good for gaming.

Also if you have any sudgestions for any other GAMING monitors within my budget, if you are going to send me a link please make sure its .be as that's where I am ;)

 

Finally the LG 25UM57-P is a widescreen monitor so if I use that for gaming will some games not run on that resolution or have bits cut off.                                             (I don't know much when it comes to monitors, which is why i'm asking)

Yeah you'd have Black lines on each side but it's fine and most AAA titles will run at 2560x1080.
