Gaming Monitor?

[Rawmaterial]

if you choose to go with the samsung, which is the brand I would recommend out of the two you listed, then read this article about the 226bw first:

One long butt article, but basically it states?

it states the summery of the model and how it compares to the other models

For those stating that you would lag on a 24" monitor, check my sig, my 24" acer works just fine with no slowdowns at all running an 8800 gts. Also, the "2 inches more" arguement between 22 and 24 isnt just about size, its about resolution. When you step up to a 24" you get 1920x1200 instead of 1680x1050, which is quite a bit more realestate. I picked up this acer for 399 + tax with a 50$ gift card added on top, rather than deal with the 100 dollar mail in rebate at microcenter.
