[cianw1]

Hey guys, im getting a new computer in a couple of weeks, at first im getting a cheap monitor and mouse and keyboard. but then when i have saved some more money i wanna get a decent monitor, mouse and keyboard. ive decided on mouse and keyboard im going to get razor, but do you have any recommendations for monitor? i want quite a good quality monitor but a max price of maybe £200, any idea? thanks.

Depends how large you want your monitor tbh.

I've had this for about 4/5 years now:

It's a very good monitor, but given that it's been out for about 6 years I'm sure there must be better alternatives for cheaper now.

dont care about touch screen, computer isnt 3d i dont think, and as for size, what would you recommend for gaming ? as thats what it will mainly be used for. maybe 22" + ??

And are all computers '3d ready' and it just depends if the monitor is 3d ready? Or will it specifically say in the specs if it is 3d? :tank:

A decent pc can put out 3d. I am not sure but I think you will get less fps because your pc need to work harder. And I have tried the nvidea software (with a cheap ass blue/red cardboard glasses), it was ok but pb kicked me for it the whole time

Your monitor size depends on the distance from you to your screen.
I have a 47inch screen, it is my tv but I also have my pc connected to it. The distance between me and my screen while gaming is around 2 meters.

Ahhh ok, so do you think this computer will be able to handle 3d? i dont really want 3d for gaming but for 3d films, here it is -

My computer screen will be basically right in front of me on my desk so i think 40" may be overkill

Do what i did. Use your HD TV as monitor. That way you won't need to go out and buy a monitor unless you dont have a Big TV then wait till PC World has there get rid of stock thing. I got 2 1920x1080 monitors for £30 each.

Most people I know are happy with Dell monitors 19-21 inches. I mean people who really know what they want from a monitor (graphic designers etc.)

Ive got a moniter that came with my first PC about 5 - 6 years ago. It cost about £70 . Its 14'' and its perfect for me .
