Default 24" LCD Monitor Recomendation

These are my choices I picked so far:

http://www.gateway.com/accessories/p...00R.php?seg=hm

http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=320-6095

The Gateway looks interesting but not sure if I'll have enough money. Please refer me to any other 24" LCDs that are good.

Samsung 245BW, and other Samsung 24"s. Out of those I'd go with the Dell.

I'm gonna need opinions from more people just to make sure. Oh yeah, I'm the type of guy that games a lot (Crysis, TF2, etc.)

At what res because a single gts is not going to give you the high resolutions provided with a 24" lcd and its never a good idea to run an lcd at below its native res.

Then you should upgrade your CPU as well.

Ah, then the samsung is the best option. If you google reviews, the 245T is usually at the top of the list.

I want a 24" in the $400-500 range. The 245T is over my budget. Any other votes on the Gateway or the Dell monitor? If not then I'll probably go with the Samsung.
