I don't know what brand and model is the best for a 22inch LCD monitor. I have plan before to buy HP w2228h 22 inch LCD Monitor but I have read bad reviews for this one. It is so elegant but the reviews are bad. Pls suggest me a brand and model that is best for gaming and watcing movies. Also a videocard that is suitable for it
Samsung T220 is a pretty good monitor for doing what you mentioned. It has a decent contrast ratio, a 2ms response time, and I believe the price is pretty good on it right now as well. As for the video card, pretty much anything will do that supports at least a 1680x1050 resolution.
A monitor so big could damage your eyesight. Would you really sit for hours with your face 9-12 inches away from a 22 screen TV?
