Title says all.

I game a lot, and I feel like upgrading my GFX card is useless without a newer, better, monitor.


Current monitor is in sig, running all games at 80+ frames ultra's because of 780p resolution.

Also someone summarize the improvements I will see when pitching out for a new display.

the biggest 1080P monitor would be a television, 42-65 inches most likely TN panel

the BEST is either a 120hz display or a IPS/PVA types

by having a 22 inch 1080p monitor or having a 30 inch 1080p monitor you really dont need to upgrade your graphics card IT IS THE SAME RESOLUTION

This is the best display you can buy for <200$ and it's great for gaming

http://www.prad.de/en/monitore/review/2012/review-asus-vs229h.html

The 23" version (VS239H) costs around 190$, but it is a tincy bit slower in terms of ghosting (this will only be an issue for experienced LCD/CRT users)

The review is in german but it is from the same site

Here in the states, it only costs 150ish. Thats still a margin of 50 bucks, I was hoping something a little bigger than 22-23 inches.
