Gaming Monitor or Not?

Good Monitor, I have one of these and the 2411z.. they make a world of difference coming from a tv

I use a monitor and it was well worth it. For one the response time is better. Secondly it's a tv just got gaming so I'm not getting looks for taking up a tv

Nice. This is what I use. Speakers suck but I run a headset so moot point.

Just purchased one of these. Fantastic monitor....

I liked Photo Picture Mode most because black is black. Not a washed out grey. Do you think Picture Mode is it OK for gaming or should I stick with one of the Gamers presets?

It's all a matter of personal preference,we have a big thread on monitor's and settings on the forum (just not exactly sure where it's at) but lots of people posted their settings on the thread,

 

Me personally I have 2 that I go between but remember I'm old and hate everyone and everything...

 

First set...

Picture mode - RTS 1

Brightness - 100

Contrast - 50

Sharpness - 1

Black EQ - 0 or 5 (your choice)

AMA - High

Instant Mode - ON

Overscan - OFF

Display Mode - Full

Dynamic Contrast - 0

HDMI RGBPC Range - 0-255

Smart Focus - OFF

 

and the second 

 

Picture Mode - Standard

Brightness - 100

Contrast - 50

Sharpness - 5

Color Temp - red 98,green 99,blue 98

Gamma - Gamma 3

AMA - High

Instant Mode - ON

Display Mode - FULL

Smart Focus - OFF

 

Again this is what I use,best thing to do is find what you like the best and go with that

i think size matter more than super low response time... <30" is ideal. large TVs just take too long to scan the screen. at least for FPS. large TVs are great for party games.
