I'm looking for a monitor that will be used for gaming (consoles primarily), watching blu-rays (on my console) and as an external to my MBP. These are my requirements:
-Must produce clear, sharp text for reading while using it with my computer.
-23-24"
-1 frame or less input lag on a 60hz monitor (it is to my knowledge that 120hz monitors don't play well with consoles). Input lag is not the same as refresh rate.
-Minimal or no backlight bleed (significant since movies/games can be dark).
-I'll probably be stuck with a 60hz refresh rate, but minimal ghosting through other means in the monitor.
-I do not need spectacular colors, but it has to be a decent sRGB monitor...
-It must have at least 1 HDMI port and 1 DVI/Displayport, or 2 HDMIs (scenario 1 is preferable). The HDMI port must be HDCP compliant.
Excessive AG coating bothers me, but I'm willing to consider it for the right price. My price range is between $150-250. Any suggestions? I'm currently on a Samsung TV, but it's terrible as a computer monitor...
EDIT: It looks like my only options are the Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM or an Asus monitor. It doesn't look like I'll be able to address all of my bullet points with either option though. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
