I don't have a TV, and was considering buying a 24" monitor to watch tv progs, films, DVDs etc. Are gaming monitors suitable for this kind of activity?
I was looking at an Asus VS248HR 24 inch, which is a gaming monitor, or an Ilyama ProLite E2483HS1 24 inch LED, which is a more general purpose monitor. I have a 15 year old 32MB Nvidia GeForce2 MX graphics card which works very well with my 6 year old Dell 1908 Ultrasharp Monitor. This has always given superb imaging, but is not a widescreen.
