I realise this topic comes up frequently but I did a quick search and needed some more information. The key criteria for me will be maximum refresh rate (I have no qualms gaming at lower resolutions in order to achieve this), usability and general quality (i.e. nothing that will break down in 6 months with normal usage). I will mainly be using this for gaming (inclucing quakeworld, cpma and warsow).

I've been looking at a few monitors in particular:
- Iiyama vision master pro 454 (which I believe can achieve up to 200 Hz)
- Samsung Syncmaster 997
- Compaq P1220 Monitor (I have heard it can achieve 160 Hz but I couldn't readily find much information)
- And generally I am open to suggestions. I have read that the Diamondtron/Trinitron type monitors are held in high regard.

200 Hz is probably a little excessive ;p, but I'm looking for a minimum of 120. I would really appreciate advice from those who have owned these (or others) first hand and have experience with them.

Thanks in advance.
