    Hi guys,

    I am looking for something in the upper quality 22" LCD range.

    Through the research I've done so far, I have picked out these 3 monitors that I am leaning towards, but would love some personal opinions from you guys before I go ahead and make a final decision.

    Viewsonic VX2235WM
    Samsung 226BW/226CW (No clue about the differences between the 2)
    HP W2207

    The monitor I'm after would be strictly for gaming, so i'm after the best picture/lighting quality I can find. I have read that many LCD's can be a pain when it comes to games with low lighting, so i'm trying to keep this aspect in consideration as well.


    Thanks

    well, the HP and the Samsung model have pretty comparable specs, but Samsung is known for making some nice displays. I would say the Viewsonic model as well, but it has lower specs, and they didn't really do as well in with their LCD's as they did their CRT's. Ok, last note, of those three i would go with the Samsung, but make note, that the contrast on that model is 1000:1, not 3000:1. For all that i have read, anything other than actual contrast (native contrast) is a gimmick, so their dynamic contrast ratio may be a little better than the actual 1000:1, but not really anything to noticeable.
