After writing many articles on gaming monitors this year we’ve decided that we should come up with a list of the top gaming monitors of 2011. These monitors were chosen primarily because of their performance/price and customer feedback and polling that we have done with gamers. In addition, they all have one thing that all gamers are looking for, a super fast response time.
