What it the nest gaming tv or computer monitor around or under 30"

[Matt S]

Hey all - really wanting a smaller tv/monitor for playing as of late

Looking at 27" computer monitors and assume that the ones with HDMI will play 360 or Ps3/4 games no issue

I am also cool on small tvs, but looking for the TOP DOG version under or around 30"

Suggestions appreciated!

I'd also recommend looking into a 120hz monitor, usually they will also be 3D. The increased refresh rate is very noticable, and if you've got a good computer that can make gaming even better since you can then gain a benefit of having more than 60fps

What's your price range? As a standard nowadays and if you're considering playing some pc games, I wouldn't do less than 90hz for monitors, with 120hz being the sweet spot for refresh rates. Anything lower just feels sluggish. However, if you're using it solely for console gaming, a good ol' 60hz monitor will do just fine.

IPS screens have fantastic color reproduction and viewing angles, but they are commonly held back by high latency and slow refresh rates. If you're going with IPS, you'll want to look for a monitor with a high refresh rate (120hz). Going this route means you'll pay a hefty premium price, though.That and IPS/120hz/1440p res monitors are hard to come by. Then again, if you're only doing console gaming on this monitor, 1080p will do for next-gen.

My recommendation is that, if you want top of the line, you either hold out for an IPS/120hz/1440p standard in the near future or just don't invest too much in a monitor right now. Certainly don't drop a wallet bomb on a monitor. So really, there are a lot of reasonable choices:

Some ideas:
BenQ 27" XL2720T 120hz LCD

ASUS PB Series PB278Q 27"

Or that Dell that darthviper posted above if IPS is your thing.

I have 2 of these and they are ****ing amazing.

Thanks guys - price range under $1000....looking to hook up consoles to it too. Yeah, saw this one on Cnet - leaning toward it. Thanks!

I've been using this with my 360. It's a 27" screen with 1 ms response time so it's great for gaming.

I'm going to be getting a new monitor soon though to celebrate the release of the Xbox One & Ps4

After you use a monitor there's no going back to a Tv. Not for FPS anyway, I prefer a big screen for FIFA though
