Any good?
Usual cheap TN display.
Pros: Cheap, good backlight (no gradients/white spots)
Cons: Viewing angles, black isn't really black, but blueish. Low contrast ratio: 80000:1 - not good for photos and movies. Games look not that good too. Used this one for about a month and traded for new (was in storage since 2001, never opened) Iiyama HA202DT CRT which was a lot better for games and movies.
If you really low on money - buy it, as this one isn't the worst TN display. If you can get $250+ - get IPS display, like LG Flatron IPS226V-IPS235T, Dell U2312HM.
I already told him that but he only had $140 to spend so he really couldn't get anything better than that for that price.

And it is
GLORIOUS.
Don't care about view point or whatever.
Too busy 1080ping.
I'm still deciding between:
1. 24" 60Hz IPS @ 1080p ($300-400)
2. 24" 120Hz TN @ 1080p ($400-500)
3. 27" 120Hz TN @ 1440p ($600)
4. 27" 60Hz IPS @ 1440p ($600-1,000)
For my next monitor. Which I will likely purchase sometime in the fall.
Yet you have a GTX 260.
Wouldn't you also need a better GPU for PC games?
I'll be upgrading that sometime this summer.

Didn't I read a post from you saying you had an i7? (920?)
Or was that someone else?
Also, lowering settings on 1080p is a necessary evil.
@lower settings at higher resolutions looks better than vise-versa.

TN for gaming
IPS for graphical and art work. (IPS displays have higher latencies)
IPS Pro or S-PVA panels are really the only alternatives to TN.
I agree on TN.
What does TN stand for?

I know but honestly am I really going to notice the few extra microseconds of input latency?

Someone else. My specs are in my profile.
