best gaming monitors

For avid gamers, having the best gaming monitor gives an imperative experience . Most professionals who play fast paced and first person shooter games use a 120 Hz monitor. There are multiple options available for 2D and 3D 120 Hz monitors.Here is a list of the top six monitors on the market today, as well as a glance at the specifications to consider when assessing a monitor for gaming purposes.
Purchasing a monitor is half about performance and half about aesthetics. As far as hardware is concerned for gaming, you want to pay particular attention to the resolution and input response times. The resolution is how many pixels are displayed horizontally and vertically, and a higher resolution can mean more precision when you are aiming down your sights. Input response time is how long it takes for the pixels to change over to the next image, so a lower response time can speed up your reactions by that fraction of a second that matters.
The actual size of the screen is only important when considering where the monitor will be set up and how far away from the screen you will be sitting. These monitors are intended for PC gaming, which will generally have the user sitting close to the screen, and there will only be one user. You will want to look for more traditional TVs if your purchase will be used for a living room setup.
This 3D Acer monitor enhances your gaming experience without harming your budget. For the low average running rate of $300, this 3D LCD monitor features 1920X1080P HD, 120 Hz refresh rate, and 2ms response time for each of those intense win or lose moments during your game. The monitor package includes the 3D glasses and is Eyefinity -Nvidia 2D-3D surround ready. The Acer GD235Hzbid is ready to connect through HDMI, VGA, and DVI connections, making setting the monitor up convenient and easy so you can get back to your favorite games fast.
The best monitor on the market from Nvidia is their BenQ24" XL2420T. It is currently the highest rated monitor by gamers worldwide. It offers two separate modes for FPS and RTS so you will be able to conveniently switch from your favorite first person shooter game to your favorite role playing game without any scaling issues. It is Eyefinity– Nvidia 2D-3D surround and Nvidia 32 VisionTM 2 ready. The monitor comes with its own remote control, so it is great for anyone who runs a wireless keyboard and mouse set-up.
With a width at just approximately 1" thick, the Samsung S27A950D 27 inch monitor Is the sleekest gaming monitor you will be able to find. Its thin body does not detract from its display, and the monitor offers an amazingly large viewing angle. The resolution goes up to a great 1920 x 1080p HD, the quick 2ms input response time is the fastest you can expect from a monitor. In addition to the gaming experience that the Samsung S27A950D gaming monitor offers, it is designed to reduce eyestrain for those avid players who spend long hours on their computer or console.
The features on the FHX2402L are standard for what you should be looking for in a gaming monitor. The 24" screen is incredibly thin, and the base it rests on will not take up much desk space. The resolution and response time are the same as the previous Samsung monitor, going up to a nice 1920 x 1080 with a 2ms response time. VGA, DVI, and HDMI connectivity makes sure you can use it with any computer. The viewing angle is slightly lower than some of its peers, but you will not be likely to notice it. The monitor also draws considerably less power than other gaming monitors, which could be something to keep in mind if you intend to use it for extended periods.
A slightly lower input response time is the only downside to this monitor. The 5ms time is lower than most on the list, but it still is in the realm of high performing displays. After taking note of that, the other performance specs of the unit are decent. The stand it rests on will catch the eye as it is in an unusual open circle shape, and it is designed to allow easier tilting for optimum viewing. The 24" monitor manages to hit the list of the best with an incredibly low price, coming in at under $300.
The first things to note with this model are the 3D technology and the inclusion of a pair of NVidia 3D glasses with the order. Even with the 3D display, the input time remains at a stellar 2ms. The other stats are fairly average: a 23" screen, normal viewing angles, and connectivity for DVI, HDMI, and VGA. The monitor is a great buy with the inclusion of the 3D glasses along with the good performance.
