I only know some 24" PVA/MVA panels suffer from input lag.
Benq has the best 24" when it comes to reducing inputlag, Dell 2407 and samsung 245T are horrible, thats what i read on the forums.

Also the LG and Acer are good 24" models, the input lag is not so hard as the samsung and Dell

[Diverge]

Also for anyone who has used both TN and MVA/PVA panels, have you noticed blacks being better on the TN panel during gaming?

i've got a FHD2400, 2 days old. It's a TN. So far this is my only complaint - lack of details in dark scenes... haven't tested it in games much, but played 300 blu-ray via my ps3 over hdmi.. and dark scenes seem to lack detail - too much black.

so far no luck trying to adjust it. no setting seem to yield any better black details.. and gamma seems to do nothing to the picture at all.

might have to return this

will test more with some games soon as my 8800GT gets here.

95% sure that Dells 22" does

EDIT: Sorry, I presumed that it also had height adjustability knowing the 2407 does

However... I definately know that this monitor supports height adjustment

[jasyn]

95% sure that Dells 22" does

the E228WFP? if so then no

All LCD monitor suffer from imput lag, even the ones with S-IPS, it-s a different technology, you can adapt to it, but you can't compare it with CRT. The only solution to input lag is "SED" - which is actually a thin CRT.

What do you suggest for a gaming monitor (20"-22") at a price range of 500$-800$ ?

I don't suppose you have any insight as to how this monitor stacks up agains the BenQ?

[gamebreaker101]

Fatal... if you looking for a gaming monitor around 500... might want to check out masterrebates. Acer makes some decent stuff with alright refresh rates if you dont want to spend much (under 300). The only issues ive seen with the Acers are the light/dark contrasts.

Not all panels have input lag, I know an Iiyama ProLite E2201W that doesn't have any input lag.

[aznsniper911]

This has been bothering me but how will I be able to find out panel type besides forums? Is there a website that has a list of LCD model and panel type or what?

tft central id's the panel types by brand/model no. with "panel search"
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/
for example:

Iiyama E2201W 2ms G2G 22"WS Samsung TN Film (LTM220M2)

LTM220M2 has 92% color gamut; a samsung "BTNIII" panel

[Soulburner]

TN panels are 6-bit and could not possibly display that many colors without dithering...

[drjunk]

Just orderd an lg L226WTQ-pf. 22" widescreen with 5000:1 contrast.

[Soulburner]

Dynamic contrast, sure. But what's the real contrast ratio? 1000:1? 800:1?

[bobson]

so what do you guys think of the new Benq G2400W? Pretty sweet for that price. In europe its around €400.

[Soulburner]

Well for the price its good, if you have worked with a TN panel before you will know what to expect. Most laptops use TN panels though due to their much lower power requirements compared to MVA, PVA or IPS and they aren't that bad.

[Demo]

Yeah TN's are not that bad considering how cheap the panels are.. but kudos to more and more people buying those higher end panels, you guys might be ablet o make those panels drop to TN prices in the future

[Budwise]

what would be the best 8bit panel for gaming and photo/video editing? Trying to stay around $500...

[lazy]

what would be the best 22" monitor for gaming/movies?

[Ihor]

what would be the best 22" monitor for gaming/movies?

in my opinion it would be ViewSonic VX2255wmb (around U$D 350 in US), or VG2230wm
or with a lower price Samsung 226BW

if you have more money you should check a monitor from brands like NEC or EIZO

then in Dell there are good monitors like 2007FP (this isn't wide) or 2007 WFP but they are both 20 inches... and Dell 2407 WFP HC is not recomended for games.. backlight in squares... and Dell said they are not going to solve this with a posterior revision

[mildseven7]

hOW ABOUT THE Dell 27"?

[.Logic]

So, what is the best 24" LCD on the market right now?
