I might be interested as well. My desktop is rocking 2 Dell 2405fpw's - spectacular for the time, and still are, but the years are going by and those backlight bulbs are getting older and older...

My next monitor will be an ultra-wide. Not ready for 4K just yet.

I have a lg 29ub65-p and it is amazing, but a lot of games don't support natively.

 

Valve games works great with the monitor. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is practically unplayable in fullscreen mode. Although the game supports 21:9 ratio, whoever program the mouse cursor didn't program to support 21:9 ratio so your cursor will be off. Fallout New Vegas doesn't support 21:9 and even if you manually change the resolution on the file, some contents will be cut off like the exit button from the computer hack.

Hijacking this thread for my own reasons.  I need a new monitor as well and want a 144hz refresh rate but also one that is good for CS.  Any suggestions?  I can do like $300-$350

 

EDIT: was looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-XL2420Z-24-Inch-LED-Lit-Professional/dp/B00HE61SOA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401902354&sr=8-1&keywords=benq+xl2420t

That one looks pretty nice, Yoshi--1ms response, 144 hz.. I haven't shopped around for monitors recently, but is the # display colors still a relevant statistic?  Here's the same monitor, the benq xl2420z on newegg--they show more specs there.  The price is better on amazon, though.


Is there any difference between "LED backlit LCD" and just "LED"?  Or does that mean the same thing..?
