Hey guys, I'm buying a new gaming mouse, keyboard and monitor for my gaming setup with my G75VX. I've been looking around for a new monitor but I don't understand monitors, I'm a noob at it. So... I need you guys to recommend me one. I am on a budget around 150 USD tops and I don't need 120hz or 3D, just need one that has good picture quality and is good for gaming. it also should be matte if possible because I'm sitting near a window and it might be very reflective especially since I live in Singapore and its sunny all year long. Thanks in advance! :D

I'm looking to get a 23 or 24 inch monitor 1080p only because i don't think my 670MX can handle 1440p. I sit about 60ish cm away from my laptop monitor so i don't know if 27 inch is alright in the pixel density department but I'm willing to spare a little more money if 27 inch at 1080p at this distance is alright.

Also what are VA panels? I heard about them but don't seem very popular

The Acer looks very nice but there is no HDMI :/. If I buy a adapter, will there be a quality loss?

What about this http://www.amazon.com/Dell-UltraSharp-U2312HM-IPS-Monitor/dp/B005LN1JEC/ref=pd_cp_pc_1? I'm buying from amazon and its a similar price.

No, there will be no difference in the picture.

 

VA is inbetween TN and IPS.  Decent colors and decent viewing angles.  Although, better blacks.

That's a good pick.  Although, it doesn't have HDMI either, but again there is no difference between HDMI and DVI picture.

THE BEST WAY TO FIND ABOUT HOW GOOD THE MONITOR IS YOU'RE BUYING IS TO CHECK REVIEWS
