- Find a better alternative to the Belinea, all their monitors tend to be poor in build quality and there are much better 26" alternatives out there.

Also, whats your source on input lag values?
The source I use for the input lag is digital versus, who compare the input lag with a crt in 10 instances, giving a minimum input lag, maximum input lag, and the average. And all monitors don't have the input lag information available online, and it is one of the most important features for gaming, so i wouldn't want to put up the vh226h, or the different iiyama's you posted because all of the information isn't available, therefore it is an uncertain purchase. 2 monitors I am adding very soon, probably today, would be the samsung 226bw and the asus vh222h. I'm looking for more monitors though, so if you guys have suggestions for monitors that the information is out there for, i will gladly take a look at em and put them up there if they are good.

- I know what Input lag is, was just asking because various independant hardware sites will have varying results, you can't just trust the results of 1 hardware site no matter how good their methods of testing and reputation.

- Iiyama's always score at the top of the pack for input lag values, so even if you can't find exact values for input lag, you can assume they are low. I've also seen various hardware sites claim the ProLite E2002WS-1 has 0ms of input lag. Not sure on the ProLite E2209HDS-1 though.

- Samsung 226bw is a no no. While its a very good monitor if you get a Samsung made panel in it, its a dire monitor if you get one with an AU Optronics panel or CMO panel in it. And you can't tell which one you have until you get it, its like a lottery with the 226bw. That also voids most hardware tests on it because its all dependant on panel, and the AU/CMO panels are dire in comparison to Samsung panels for input lag, color fidelity, backlighting, etc. And you are more likely to get a 226bw A or C than S.
