Hello everyone. I would like to know if I can get some recommendations on a new PC monitor for my budget gaming/Trainz PC that is a 1 1/2 years old. I am looking to purchase a good quality LED monitor for Trainz within the $90-$150 price range. I am not really sure what factors to consider though when purchasing PC monitors. Some of the questions that I have for the PC monitor is below.
1. Would it be better to use VGA, DVI, or HDMI connection, my current graphics card has a VGA, DVI and HDMI connection?
2. What is the response time in a PC monitor and what response time should I consider for Trainz and light gaming?
My current PC specs are below.
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition @ 3.4Ghz
Graphics: EVGA Geforce GTX 550Ti @ 951Mhz core clock and 1GB GDDR5
PSU: ULTRA LSP 700W Limited Edition
Motherboard: AMD UD3-970A
Memory: 16GB DDR3 in dual channel configuration
Hard drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM with 64MB cache
OS: Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium System Builder Edition
