Any thoughts on this monitor?

It's a 23" for $219.00. it also has a lot of good reviews but the response time is 5ms isn't that bad for gaming?

Duke,

It should be a great monitor for the price. I have a Samsung 225BW...22" and I paid $400 for it a year or two ago. Works great, as far as I'm concerned. Here are the specs on mine: the one you're looking at should do the trick.

Great price. I haven't had any problems with any Samsung products.

Thanks guys it seems like a bargain.

Kind of sucks that there's no HDMI although it does have HDCP support for Blueray playback. Also dislike that there's only tilt adjustment and no height adjustment. Other than that I can't see any problems for what you're paying for it.

Its native resolution is 2048 x 1152 will a GTX 275 run at the res?

Yes bit you might have to turn down a few things depending on the game.

What monitor would you be going from Duke?

Response time is yet another marketting gimmick. It started out as being useful in the days of 20+ms screens but now the quality of the actual display panels has risen it's pretty much redundant.

I assume that the dot pitch doesnt come into play with LCD or LED monitors just CRT.

excellent choice.

Actually yes it does. They don't call it dot pitch on a LCD, it's called pixel pitch but it's the same thing in reference to handling resolution properly.
