Need a new monitor

Here's the same monitor for R300 less (plus you don't pay delivery).

I see there is another Samsung 23" LED for R2100 (the s23b300b) so you may want to consider that as well. I think the only diff is the contrast ratio, but I'll leave it to you to research.

I paid less than R2000 (don't recall exact price) for my 23" LG 3D monitor. If 3D is not your thing, there is a 23" LG monitor with IPS display for the same price. I don't see them at takealot or rebeltech atm, but if you shop around I'm sure you'll find them if you are interested.

So R2650 is in my opinion a bit expensive.

Just make sure you get a high resolution TV with an HDMI port,nothing lower then 1920x1080.(also make sure your GPU has an HDMI port)

The major disadvantage of a TV is the low refresh time.

^ This.

TVs have a refresh rate of 30Hz which kind of sucks when PC gaming.

I somehow remember my TV refreshing at 60Hz

I actually meant the response time,most decent new TV's come with 60hz.

Ideally you want a TV with 120hz refresh rate with around 2-4ms response time though they are fairly expensive.

Even TV's in the 9k range will have response times around 40ms which is fairly high.

Why not go for a 24"?

Pros:
- Dell's next business day 3 year warranty
- Adjustable Height
- Turn your screen 90 degree for reading

Cons:
- Does not have HDMI.
- Slightly thicker than the Samsung products

And while we are at it about TVs, here's one that doesn't cost an arm and partial liver, but delivers a decent refresh rate:

Putting my tv onto sports mode makes everything in-game look a million times better... (Clearer and better colors)
 
i dont like the feel of p[laying on it... there is too much info for your eyes to take and you get headaches rather quicker than on a monitor
