My friends son wants a monitor to replace his TV.

He plays FPS and has a budget of under £200.

What is a good buy at the moment?

Does he hate himself? If not, tell him to save more money.

When did £200 become not a lot of money?

When you wanted a 24-inch gaming monitor.

I mean, there are loads you could buy. But they won't be very good.

Kovs - ask the lad what graphics card he has, no point speccing a monitor he can't run. Once I know that I will know a suitable resolution and that will make it much easier.

Just had a look on Ebuyer, you can get a decent, branded, 24 inch monitor 1920x1080 with HDMI for around the £100 mark.

I wouldn't spend more than this on a monitor that's being used for basic gaming and other such duties.

If he really wants 144hz then you're straight up at £200 though.

What about those motion-blur-reducing things where the GPU puts out some sane framerate and the monitor puts black frames between each frame? My TV does that and I thought some monitors and/or graphics cards could too.
