Monitors Flatscreens Quality Realness Have a question for Everyone
I want to know what is a good size gaming monitor
My current Monitor isn't as bright as it used to be so I kinda want to get a new one
I've had it for atleast 6 years 22" Envision
I might just go ahead and use my HDMI cable to see how it would really look vs VGA set up
I have used View Sonic before ,I know they are a great brand knowing that i had a 17" Ultrabright that lasted almost 10 years
I been scouring my local store for a nice Monitor i was also thinking about a dual monitor set up but let's be real I think im better off with a single sizable monitor without going all out especially i would have to get two if the same Micro Center - Viewsonic VX2753MH-LED 27" Widescreen LED Monitor VX2753MH-LED here is one of the monitors i checked out
and here is another Micro Center - ASUS VE278Q 27" Widescreen LED Monitor VE278Q http://www.frys.com/product/6561663?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG http://www.frys.com/product/6608814?...H:MAIN_RSLT_PG

If it was for me I would get like a 24inch monitor but that's just my preference though i do have a tv that is 26inchs in the other part of my house and it's a pretty good size. I think that 27inch would be big enough to fit lots of stuff on the desktop with the resolution set all the way up so it can fit more icons since they get smaller the higher the resolution is. I think the 27inch would be a good choice. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop OS Windows 7 Home premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X4 925 (Deneb) OC 3.4GHz Motherboard M5A78L-MLX Plus Memory 8192MB RAM DDR3 1600 Graphics Card XFX HD 6870 1GB (Connected via HDMI) Monitor(s) Displays Polaroid TLAC-02255 22" Digital HD LED TV Screen Resolution 1920x1080 60Hz Keyboard Microsoft USB Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 (IntelliType Pro) Mouse Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400 PSU CORSAIR CX600 600w Case AZZA Orion 202 EVO with 3fans and a corsair af fan Cooling cooler master hyper TX3 cpu cooler Hard Drives Kingston Digital 60GB SSDNow V300 and 500gb HDD Western Digital 7200rpm (black) Internet Speed 6Mbps download 0.65Mbps upload Antivirus MSE Browser chrome |

ATM, I have a 24" LG that does very well, previously a 22".
I do think 24" is about perfect for a Desktop monitor since you do sit close to them. I do worry if 27" may be just a bit too big. That extra 3" is quite a bit when you're only 3-4ft away.
At any count, I would say 24" is perfect and what I would be looking into at the least for your upgrade.
Though, I must say the 27 Viewsonic looks nice, still seriously considering it myself. Been eyeing that one one for a couple months now. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build) OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel Core i7 2700k Motherboard eVGA P67 SLI Memory 8GB Mushkin Redline Ridgebacks @1866 Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 SC Sound Card XiFi Titanium HD Monitor(s) Displays LG W2453V Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Saitek Cyborg PSU Seasonic x750 Case Corsair 600T SE White Cooling eVGA Superclocked CPU Cooler Hard Drives Intel 320 80GB -- Intel X25-V 40GB --WD Black 1TB x2 -- WD Blue 640GB Antivirus Kaspersky Browser IE Other Info LG BD/DVD |

Yes the ViewSonic was my First choice at 22 " my monitor is huge but as it has Degraded in quality over the years
Maybe later today I can take a look at some of the models in person like you said 27 is huge but for gaming it is great Resolution

I went with this a few months ago.> Newegg.com - ASUS VS248H-P Black 24" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ASCR 50,000,000:1
Essenbe/Steve also bought one. Amazing is all I can say.
This is LED backlit LCD not a CCFL.
We got them on sale for about $170.
Steve nor I had any dead pixels.
It is available at other stores besides Newegg I'm not sure where though. Amazon did have them.
I can only speak for this size and exact model VS-248H-P.

The choices I priced the viewsonic with tax 331.24 27" inch
I just need to see how big it will be in person I'm going to look at all sizes
Because looking at normal pages and such do effect the size as well the biger the size the harder it is to read and you have to enlarge the Icons no problem with it but if 27 is too huge then 24 to 26 would be Ideal
I can't do much right now as into physicaly looking stores are closed today i will be looking though
and the money is right never payed that much for a regular monitor but the size looks worth the money Micro Center - Viewsonic VX2453MH-LED 24" Widescreen LED Monitor VX2453MH-LED 24 inch view sonic with HDMI ports <-------im looking to go with HDMI ports for the best HD i can get
oh man and the 27 inch version only 4 in stock now damn i can't decide who wants to take a trip to microcenter with me | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number Built by me FX - Series Scorpious OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit sp1 CPU Vishera FX 8350 Oc' 4.812Ghz 1.488 V-core full load 50c Motherboard Asus Sabertooth 990fx rev 2.0 Memory 16gb Corsair Vengeance ram 1600mhz Oc'ed to 1750mhz Graphics Card VisionTek HD7970 Ghz.ed Bios Crossfire 1150/1560 power 10% Sound Card AC97 Monitor(s) Displays 27" ViewSonic 1920/1080dp hdmi 37in vizio hdmi dual monitors Screen Resolution 1920x1080 27"- 1920x1080 37" Keyboard Logitech wireless keyboard Mouse Logitech wireless mouse PSU HX1050w Corsair Silver 80plus certified crosfire/sli Case Thermaltake Element V Cooling Antec 620 Water cooling system and 4 120 mm LED fans Hard Drives Ocz Agility 120Gb SSD Seagate baracuda 500 Gb WD Mybook 500Gb Internet Speed Cable 25+ mb Antivirus WebRoot Spysweeper with Antivirus Browser IE-9, Chrome, Opera Other Info I have 2 systems FX AM3+ 8350-K15 Oc'ed 4.812Ghz AM2+ 965 BE Stock 3.4 Ghz Both stable Both Gaming Rigs Also Hp Notebook 1.65 ghz Dual core amd E-450 8gb Patriot Ram DDR3 Discrete Gpu Hd6320 dedicated ram 1973 mb 15.5 screen |

27" is easier to read since everything is larger at 1080p.
And dvi would be the better connection over hdmi unless you needed to get audio to the monitor. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HAL-9000 OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit CPU Intel i7 3770K Motherboard Asus Sabertooth Z77 Memory 16GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3 Graphics Card XFX HD6950 2GB EyeFinity Sound Card Logitech G35 & Sennheiser PC135 & VIA HD Monitor(s) Displays 23" HP 2310e, 23" Samsung B2230, 21.5" Viewsonic Screen Resolution 5760x1080 Keyboard Logitech G15 and G13 Mouse Logitech G700 Gaming Mouse PSU Antec True Power New 650watt Case Cooler Master HAF-932 Cooling Corsair H60 Hydro Cooler, 3x 230mm Fans, 2x120mm Fan Hard Drives 16TB of Storage
