Picking a monitor

Hi so i'm looking at buying a new monitor and i'm not sure what to pick up. To start off i'm a gamer, the monitors i have looked at for gaming are really expensive, all i wan't is a nice monitor that will be alright for gaming.

Any ideas?

Benq 2411 or 2455 are both really good choices

What GPU do you have, what resoulution do you want, do you prefer IPS or TN. BE MORE SPECIFIC!

I love how vivid colors with IPS panels look, so this gets my recommendation:

I agree with Vadisi. Get an idea of what you want. I do it with research.

You said you are a gamer. Me to. But to what level are you gaming?

My go to cheep 24 inch 1080p monitor today is the LG 24mp55hq. If you need any more than that then you need to spend $. 

Btw, this is opinion!!! My opinion... I don't like benq

 

If you are playing a large amount of FPS games and will be playing 1080, then I would suggest the ASUS VG248QE. 144hz 24" and it is a damn good monitor(even for a TN)
