simkiller February 7, 2011 Share simkiller Member February 7, 2011 I'm wanting to buy a 22 inch lcd for gaming. Looking to spend under 250. What's the best out there and is 120 hertz refresh the way to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC February 8, 2011 Share VooDooPC Member February 8, 2011 (edited) I bought an 120Hz monitor a few weeks ago and I noticed the difference immediately. I posted on my "I need a monitor..kind of" topic about my 3D monitor, here's a snip-it: Since the monitor is 3D it's required to do 120Hz. 120Hz is clearly noticeable. I didn't think it would be, but it was. When I first set my desktop to 120hz from 60Hz I was shocked. It's so much smoother on 120Hz. I know the big draw of the monitor is 3D, but playing games at 120Hz when you are getting 100+ fps it's SO smooth. No tearing upto 120 fps is a nice side effect of 120hz as well. If your computer is fast enough to get over 100 FPS in games will notice the difference. Even on the desktop I noticed it. It just feels much smoother. The mouse movement, the way games move, everything. You will be hard pressed to find a monitor that is 120hz and less than $250 since they are, "3D monitors". The cheapest I see is the Viewsonic VX2268WM for $265. If you want to get a monitor JUST for 120Hz and don't need a new monitor for any other reason, it may not be worth it. ....but damn it's nice.
