How to choose the right LCD monitor for gaming?
February 12, 2011, Posted by admin at 2:52 am
I am going to be using the LCD monitor with my Xbox 360 and I am having difficulties on what I should look for.
I can’t seem to figure out what specs I am looking for. Can anyone tell me about which contrast ratio, vertical/ horizontal refresh rates, resolution, and brightness I should look for on an LCD monitor?
Also would it be better with HDMI or no? If possible can you also list a few monitors you would recommend?
