I'm looking for a 23"-24" monitor for gaming and the likes and I'm currently looking at the following:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-S23...1_9?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1325719468&sr=1-9

Samsung S24A350H 24 inch Widescreen LED monitor (MEGA DCR, 1920 x 1080 Full HD, 2ms, HDMI/VGA) - Gloss Black: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

ViewSonic VX2453MH-LED 24 inch LED Wide Screen Monitor - (VGA, HDMI, 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 5m/s, 1,000:1/30,000,000:1, 300 cd/m², Built in Speakers): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Not too sure what's good or bad but the Samsung looks best currently because I know the brand better.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, £160 is the pref budget. But I can go an extra £10 if it's worth it.

Good options, Howling Wolves. For the price, I would go with the Viewsonic you selected, Quackpot.

Both monitors have 2ms response time and 1K:1 contrast ration.

Read responses from consumers as:

Newegg.com - SAMSUNG S24A350H ToC Rose Black 24" 2ms Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 DCR 1,000,000:1 (1,000:1)

Newegg.com - ViewSonic VX2453mh-LED Black 23.6" Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor Slim Design w/Speakers 250 cd/m2 DC 30,000,000:1 (1,000:1)

Customers seem very happy.
