choosing a monitor for console gaming

[Gadgie]

Hi

I was thinking about getting a monitor for my console gaming since I dont often get the chance to play on the family TV. Firstly can someone confirm that a monitor is a better option than a small HD tv as some people say that monitors give far better pictures with no ghosting etc while others say that console graphics can look really terrible on a monitor.

Assuming a monitor is the best option I have a budget of around £150.

I was looking at the following:

but am confused as there are also the following similar models:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/BenQ-EW2740...e=UTF8&qid=1418682206&sr=1-4&keywords=monitor

I have never bought a monitor so am a bit out of my depth. I would appreciate any advice to help me decide on the best option. I will also be watching dvd's / bluerays but gaming will be the main use.

Many thanks

Hi

As you have probably gathered ... the guys here are not gamers and the lack of response to your question is
not because we are ignoring you..... it is because we ( I for one ) have no idea what to advise.

I do know that a monitor, generally, gives a better picture quality.

I had a quick search .....this is a short thread but quite informative - click here
From what I have read ..
Monitors ( generally ) have faster "lag" times.
The picture quality is better
They give off less heat
They use less power
They are limited in size.

I wouldn't know which one to advise you to get though.

no problem, thanks for taking the time to post a reply its much appreciated. I will probably stick with my original choice rather than confuse myself any further, just thought I would seek out some other opinions just in case I had made a bad choice.

cheers
