I need a monitor.

take the tv in your living room and hook it up.

I recommend getting a dell monitor.

Benq new monitor havnt checked the prices lately but its on up there Link one the other one from benq is 400 so yeah Price for "RTS"

here

I'm currently using a 27.5" Hanns-G and haven't had many problems. I have it running through a complicated setup which has it getting video from multiple sources so I get an occasional hiccup when turning it on. Once its on I have no issues.

To be clear, here's my setup. My pc is connected to the monitor via HDMI and I have a VGA-> Component converter connected to a switch with a 360 and a cable box. The "hiccups" occur when I have 2 things running at once and am switching between them. Otherwise, its a good monitor that's below $300.

Why don't people just Google their problems >.<

Get an IPS monitor and skip everything else.

whats wrong with 60hz? most people are at 60 and dont have flickering?

The problem might not be of your screen, QuantumSolace. Your computer might be lagging due to an excessive CPU usage, low ram, or dated graphics card. A 60Hz monitor (if actually supplied with such frames-per-second by the graphics card) shows extremely fluid movements as is: the human eye perceives "still images" (i.e. flickering) when the frames-per-second drop below 24Hz (more or less).

Before you spend those $300 I'd suggest that you check the frames per second your games are outputting. Some games have console commands that show the frames-per-second on the top left corner (for example).

Flickering due to refresh rate happens on CRT but not LCD, so the main question here is what you mean by flickering. If your HDTV is otherwise okay for you, then it would be good to understand the problem and try to solve the real cause.
