Can this be used for gaming?

I got good service when I returned mine because it wasn't as good as my current monitor.If you're on a tight budget I guess it may work. For me the difference was too significant to keep it. I was amazed because it was lauded as a great monitor, but when I got it, I was very disappointed

Depends on the type of gaming. The 5-6ms response time isnt great for FPS or games with a lot of things moving on the screen very quickly, you will notice ghosting. I run 2 of them in a triple screen setup though, with the 2 GW2450's on the outside. I bought a much faster 2ms BenQ for the center monitor and I dont notice any ghosting anywhere. Partly because I dont focus on the side screens because they serve as peripheral viewing but Id say in general, yes. For best results? No.

I use two for gaming. No it isn't the highest-end monitor and yes with the impending 4k rush it will become obsolete, but it is hard to beat the price point and any artifacts present don't inhibit me or my ability to enjoy gaming ;)

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

As others have said, not recommended for gaming. I bought one of these and use it to display YouTube videos - for that purpose, it works fine. I've also used it at work for documents (Excel/PowerPoint/Word) without any issues.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

This computer is not designed for gaming, I had to install a video card in order to play games, I am playing watch dogs right now, no complaints

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.

I wouldn't recommend it as a gaming machine, I would find a better graphics card setup and faster processor.

This is NOT a good product for any use. They are going take it out of the market. I am not gamer, so I can not advice you. Good luck!

I have not used it for gaming I would think it would be slow. it has been great for connecting to the internet surfing the net a distance away from my main router but b:esides that I would not think it would be great for gaming but I haven't tried it

Yes, you can, but not for games... Just normal use... The graphic card is weak but works :)

I am not 100% positive, but I think not, if so, like the previous responder says, probably wouldn't suggest getting this one for that usage. its more for game playing and internet perusing.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

However, if you're not doing gaming, it may work just fine. Keep a close eye on all temperatures to be sure.

It is not suitable for gaming in my opinion, it can't run battlefield 3 on the lowest settings without lag

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!
