Gaming Full HD 24" Monitor

[DarkWay]

Hey Tempers!

So it's christmas I have some money and I'm looking to invest in a full HD 24" monitor for around £200 (under preferably). The main use of this monitor you ask? Why Gaming of course!!!

Now I've been shopping around for a month and I'm still, to put it simply clueless as to what I'm looking for.

So far I've been really edging towards the Samsung SyncMaster P2450H (you can find the specs in the first review).
I've read many many reviews on this monitor and others. For this one some say it's amazing and a few say it has some "colour" problems.

So now I come to you guys and gals, can anyone help me find the best monitor for my price range?

That looks like a pretty good monitor for the price actually, the average rating from 65 reviews is 5 stars.

I started to read that and my brain started to hurt

however some of the information (whilst dated) is still useful, thanks.

Yes the reviews on there do initial look amazing, but reading through half of them, these are just from standard users and not people "in the know how" if you look at some outside "official" tech reviews Like this one you start seeing things about a green tint problem. and this will always unfortunately lead to some form of doubt.

What I need is more information and monitor suggestions, maybe somebody here has the monitor I'm looking at and can comment on it?
