    So, I am trying to purchase a monitor that I can use for gaming/entertainment. Sadly though, I know nothing about monitors/tv's. I was hoping some of you electronics experts could chime on in what the best deal is. I have heard Samsung is a great company to look at when purchasing a monitor.

    I want something that I can use to hook my 360 up to as well as my laptop. I'll be using HDMI cables, so compatability with that is a must. Other than that all I know is that it should be 1080p. I don't know what any of the other specs mean whatsoever. I think I want something between a 24 inch and a 32 inch. It's going to be in my room so there wont really be that much room.

    Budget is 500 dollars.

    I think I found a few that could be decent:

    The first one is a bit out of my buy range, but if it is spectacular, why not....

    I'm reading this on an HP LP2475w. It is a 24" IPS display, the same type as the new iPad, except better and bigger (bigger being better!). I love it. All the games that I play look beautiful and I haven't noticed any issues with input lag. You can view the screen from all angles and it still looks good. It was worth every penny I shelled out, and was under $500. Non-glare screen. Beautiful!

    So, does it have all the usual input/output slots and is it 1080p?
