None, if you get an old fashioned CRT. An LCD comes with a host of problems - resolution issues (LCDs have but one), poor contrast, low brightness, limited viewing area, dead pixels, and (worse of all) poor response time and high persistance that leads to lag or "ghosting." These are not that big a deal in desktop computing but can be pretty annoying for gaming.
For my work computers (I teach computer science and typically have half a dozen systems running at any given time) I use dual or triple LCD displays. But for gaming, I use the largest old-school CRT I can find; the limitations of LCD displays are just too much for me to deal with in gaming right now. The beauty of CRTs is that as long as you don't mind the bulk, you can get pretty large ones for not much money.

For LCDs, its good to have a large screen, with the ability to have large resolutions, and have a low response time. Other things like brightness and such, are up to your preference as well as the brand and quality of the screen itself.
For CRTs, I find that most have no problem at all dealing with gaming, however the older they get, the worst they are at gaming. Example, mine is getting old and now won't go above 60Hz on the refresh rate or it shakes the screen, however for majority of the time, 60Hz is good enough.

What you need to look for in a gaming monitor is probably the speed of the monitor (measured in Hz) so a regular one would be 60Hz or 70Hz, but BEST performance is at 120Hz! Also look at the contrast ratio (600:1) is GOOD, and the brightness index. 450 - 600 is acceptable. And as far as screen-resolution goes, 1600 X 1200 is more than enough.

once you're figuring out on a sparkling laptop for gaming, would desire to be confident to work out right here: - opt for the processor as severe velocity as a possibility. The greater advantageous velocity, the greater advantageous gaming overall performance. the latest Intel or AMD branded processor is stated. - If figuring out on pc, the pc would desire to comprise ATI or Nvidia branded image card (to illustrate ATI Radeon .... , or Nvidia Geforce ....) with a minimum of 128mb video ram. 256 or greater is stated. -If figuring out on laptop based laptop, opt for the laptop that have PCI show X16 slot so as which you would be able to installation ATI or Nvidia branded image card if such image card isn't coming alongside with your laptop or the bundled image card is integrated. And the image card would desire to have a minimum of 128 mb video ram. 256mb or greater is stated. -verify out the ram. a minimum of 1gb ram is put in. -Your laptop would desire to have actual homestead windows XP homestead / expert version with provider %. 2 or Media midsection version with replace rollup 2, or actual homestead windows Vista (would be released on 30 Jan 2007) preinstalled. -An liquid crystal reveal reveal screen.

The response time has to be good, but it also has to be good resolution, and dont go too big a screen as you will damage your eyes if sitting to close lol.

The "refresh rate" (this is what keeps the plays looking smooth)

the lower the response time the better, if you're asking about LCDs.

Its got to be large, and have lots of those little dot things to give the sharpest picture (are they pixels?-or are they used in printing?)
