Hey guys, looking to buy a monitor. I game a lot, and I was wondering if this would be good. I would be connecting via HDMI from my laptop and the desktop. I don't care if it has 2 ports though, I could deal with taking the five seconds to change the cable. What monitors do you guys use and what would you think about this one? I hate ghosting (which occurs a crapton on my laptop monitor) and I like vibrant colors, but I hate when monitors overdo it and make everything over-colorful and screw my life up.
Click me!
Just realized that they don't have HDMI on that monitor. Fail.
So anyways guys what should I be looking out for? I notice some monitors have 50k:1 contrast ratios and some have 8,000,000+:1 Contrast ratios. What exactly does this mean and what will the difference be?
Budget is 155 ish dollars. Preferably less, my dad is a cholo when it comes to lending money.
And I see a monitor that is 21.5 inches, yet 1980 x 1080 res. Will that look right...? I thought that resolution was supposed to be for like... 24+ inch monitors...
