What is the best monitor to get for the budget price of 230$? For gaming mostly, ofcourse.

Oh and I live in Canada, so no USA sites please

Get something with 5-2ms reponse time and DVI input, after that its quality of the picture. You have a couple more options which are 16:9 or 16:10 ratio, in other words 22/24 1680x1050/1920x1200 or 21.6/22/23/24 1920x1080 and then you can decide wether you want HDMI which basically means you can hook up a PS3/Xbox 360 as long as the monitor also has audio output.

For just PC gaming I suggest a 16:10 22" which would work well with your HD4850

A good example:

And I don't mind getting a bigger resolution now - it doesn't mean I have to use max resolution right away.

nice looking LCD. Decent specs too. I'd say jump on it.

I've also heard good things about the E2200HD. If you're prepared to go down 1920x1080 you should maybe take a look at the Dell 2309W or 2409W, I've seen from direct E2400HD vs 2409W comparisons that the dell looked a bit better.

EDIT:

sorry, the S2409W was a usa link.

oh well I talked with some friends via MSN and another site, and I decided to go with the BenQ - thanks for the replies
