Games: TV screen vs Computer Monitor

[DeddRekoning]

I use a 23" Dell with the Xbox and Turtle Beaches. Looks good and sounds good.

i'd buy this motoman, if I was looking for an lcd to game on my ps3/360.

IPS panel and superior stand to that asus panel you linked.


Another question is, are you wanting to use internal speakers or how will you handle sound?

That seems to have really good reviews. I'll be using my turtle beaches. I trust your advice/opinion, you know more about computer hardware than I do and I know you're a computer gamer, so I value that.

14ms response though? That sounds high...

I never noticed any ghosting with playing on my 3008, but it is @ 8ms. But I cannot stand TN/PVA monitors for anything so take my suggestions with a grain of salt I guess.

I play my xbox on a 24 inch 1080p lcd while sitting at my desk. It is way better then playing on a big tv from the couch

actually; in hindsight, see if you can find a HP ZR22w for cheap.

I'd still buy an IPS panel over TN/PVA

Honestly here is my take on tv vs. monitor. I have a 122" projection setup that I watch tv and console game on. I wouldnt trade that for the world but now am going to try out 3 24" monitors in eyefinity to see how I like it. I initially thought about maybe running the PC on my projector and still might to see how it works out but I doubt you will see much if any difference on console gaming. Once you get into PC then its a whole different animal I hear though.

I just ordered 3 Asus 24" monitors this morning. I had 3 of the 25" monitors you posted but changed them to the 24" because newegg is having a special. Here is the info I posted in my thread this morning....

I did downgrade my monitors though, went to 24" Asus LED's. Newegg is having a promotion on these for $189 a piece, normally $215. If anyone wants any the coupon code is EMCYTZT891 .

I play on an LG 32" 1080P 120hz LCD and I play just fine. Also have another one up at work for doing cad stuff and it rocks.

Mine plays fine, I just wondered if the picture would look better on a computer monitor.



Any of you guys have input on the ASUS monitors, something like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236123 ? I've been looking at those and LG.

The lower the ms response time, the better, correct?

yes

Your tv does not have 1million to 1 contrast ratio. If your gonna use your xbox and don't care for size any decently fast lcd would look better than most regular tv's due to the pixels being smaller. How far do you plan on sitting away from this tv/lcd?

I know it's not 100,000:1, I'll double check when I get home but I'm 99% positive it is, at least I'm sure that's what it says on the box.

If I pick up a monitor then probally 3-4 feet away, just like you would with a computer. The lower the ms response time, the better, correct?

I can tell you it would probably look amazing compared to the TV.

console or pc?

Console.
