I am pondering between two monitors to get, either
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009163
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116402
I am leaning towards the Acer one due to the resolution, aspect ration and price, but I would also like the 120hz refresh rate on the other monitor, so I am not sure which one I should choose, as the other one is lower resolution, and also more costly.
Thanks in advance!

I'd say take neither of them and find a better monitor for the same or similar price to the view sonic. Btw, the Acer one has a shittier response time.

But 24" 16:10 is where it's at.

Response time isn't really a concern anymore with everything being ~5ms or less nowadays.

If you can afford the 120Hz display then go for it. Going from 60Hz to 120Hz will feel weird at first but you'll get used to it fast. You have a powerful GPU that will have no trouble rendering it so you'd be all set :haw:

I am currently at 75hz actually, and I think I'll get the 120hz
too bad there isn't a 16:9 120hz that isnt 40inch lol

I would get the either the Veiwsonic for its refresh rate or if you can, a Dell UltraSharp 2209WA (dunno where you can get that in the US).
