Dell E2014H 19.5-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor, good for gaming?

Yes it is, it has been by far the best monitor I have purchased. I recommend it for anything!

Although it could be used for some games a monitor with a HDMI connector would work much better, unfortunately this particular monitor comes only with a VGA connector. The video adapter on your computer will determine the visual quality for gaming. I hope this helps!

The main downside to this monitor is that it is a TN matrix panel. I have had nothing but IPS panels and I never realized TN panels could be so bad. Here's an example. Basically, I am looking at a white screen with my head level with the monitor. The middle of the screen is white, the bottom of the screen is a bit cyan/blue-ish white, the top of the screen is a pinkish-red white. I am about 2 feet away from the screen. If you can find a 120hz IPS panel, I'd say go for it. That's really the only downside. Getting the color, gamma, contrast, and brightness levels correct while not crushing blacks or washing out whites can be pretty difficult, but there are plenty of programs and calibrators and settings that you can find online that are quite suitable. Honestly, it's a turn off but I am getting used to it.

Monitors don't really affect your gaming experience its your computer and mainly video card. But its good, a bit small for my liking.

1. Does this monitor have built-in speakers? No2. Is the colour/picture crisp and clear? Average, not top of the line. Thought I'm using VGA. May be better with improved graphics card.3. Are the buttons easy to push? Yes4. Is this compatible with any Windows 7 hp computer? Do not have an HP. I have a Dell Windows 7 and it runs just fine.

I wouldn't recommend it, no. The resolution isn't very high, and brighter is the refresh rate, at least not in turns of gaming. Finally, I'm pretty sure the processing power for its video feed forms from the CPU, even with a dedicated GPU.

Yea, I have a very similar pc as yours. It runs very well. It can run almost all the major games. I often play LOL and it runs very smoothly at the highest settings. But make sure you have a >= 400 watts power supply. My dell came with a 320 watts without an extra plug for graphic card. So I also changed my power supply.

Hey man. Yeah I bought it for gaming. It's freaking awesome man, it works perfectly and has been the best piece of equipment i've owned yet. I bought it to finish my $1,200 gaming computer setup. I highly recommend this monitor.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

I'm not a gamer so maybe you should look for a review from someone who may be more particular, but this monitor seems crisp and clear in a dark room or full light. I like it a lot.

I'm not sure ... Search the dell community forums for a better answer (or google) ... but it was cheap enough for me to gamble ... I actually have one if you want to pay shipping and try it

Absolutely. It's a really great monitor and I'd be more than willing to buy more from this company in the future. I use it for gaming and it provides stunning detail.

Yes, I returned Dell S2415H because the text is not black, gray, gives me a headache because I use it reading news, stock quote. I use the multimedia screen on this monitor and doesn't give me a headache. Compared with my Qnix2710 which is 1440p, I prefer this benq for reading and multimedia use. I returned hp 25xi because of flicker, gives me a headache too.

I have used mine as a computer monitor on several occasions. The picture is not as crisp as my regular Dell computer monitors.

Scrupples' answer sounds about right. Maybe look for a budget monitor. I wonder if you could back up your old computer and then load the files onto the Dell. I'm not the most computer savvy guy BTW.

This is just an interface card, to give you DVI output. So if you dell has a PCI slot , then yes it should be. Personally I would purchase a actual video card with a graphics processor and memory on it if your looking to just gain the DVI port, this option will actually give you better performance than the feature card your looking at, and it will display at a faster rate.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C; Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine
