    Default Looking for a monitor

    I have some money, so I'm wanting to get a new monitor, an LCD. I was thinking about getting a 24 inch, but if you think a different size would be better, let me know. I currently have a 17 inch LCD which I would use as a secondary dual display. I plan to eventually get a second of whatever monitor I get and hook them up as a dual display.

    Yeah, Samsung pwns. I'm just curious, is 2ms the best response rate you're going to find? Speaking of the response rate, just so everyone who doesn't know does, you want the lowest "xms" possible, where x is a variable standing in place of the number that's supposed to be there.

    the lower the refresh rate the better, but they say below 8 you can't tell.

    my screen is 12ms, and i can't see it, lower the bestter, there is a view sonic which i belive is the fastest in the world at something like 0.5MS responce rate.

    Samsung is trustable, and I can afford to buy that. Any other suggestions? Would size would you guys recommend? I'll be doing a lot of graphical and 3D work.

    For 24", this is one of the best at a good price:

    Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP Wide-Screen Black Flat Panel Monitor, LCD: $569

    24" is the smallest size to view 1080 HD and 2 A4 sheets of paper at 100%.
    It also has a built in flash card reader and USB ports.

    If you want to use both the 24" and 17" at their max. resolutions, you'll need a really good video card.

    Looks perfect for you.
