    Need Help Looking For A New Monitor!

    I've been looking forward to playing FFXIV for quite some time now, but didn't have a decent computer to run it on. However, after spending far too much time and money, I've now got a decent tower to work with. But I'm still struggling with finding the right monitor for it. The whole problem with that lies in the fact that I need a monitor with a stable base. It seems like all the LED monitors out there are super wobbly, and even though that's not a big problem to most people, it would make me go insane.

    So, if you have a suggestion for an LED monitor with a low response time and a stable base, please let me know! I've been looking for one for the last few days, and I'm about ready to blow. I swear I've read every review on Newegg!

    Edit: The size needs to be ~23 inches.

    Healer strike is ridiculously foolish and accomplishes nothing

    I'm actually looking for a specific size of 23 inches. (Also, I do have a 32" Sony Bravia that I can hook it to. However, I need something small to sit at my desk.)

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    haven't gotten one for myself yet but if there aren't any problems with it, this is a great buy

    27.5 inch
    built in speakers
    1920 x 1200 (16:10) format

    only 290 and reviews seem good.

    I would recommend: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001381 as a primary. Asus are good for secondary (if you want a multimonitor setup).

    The samsung is kind of bulky, it's more comparable to an HDTV rather than a monitor, but I would not recommend Asus monitors as a primary because they are built really cheaply. I have an Asus as my secondary and it's many years old, it works fine but all of the buttons are broke because the Asus button panels are garbage. So basically I can never turn it off, I expect eventually one of these days it'll just burn out since I can't turn it off, but my Samsung has been amazing. Much better color quality and the model I linked doubles as an HDTV with decent video quality, but poor sound quality. It's also quite affordable compared to alternatives, imo.
