seems a good price, and the 2ms G2G looks awsome, i admit i know nufffin about lcds so i have a couple of questions


i play Counter strike 1.6 and source very competativly BUT i live playin 1.6 @ 640*480 and source @ 800*600 will the pictute qualitly b that bad?

the rest of me game i like to play on 1024

also will i b able to hook up my xbox360 (and ps3 when its out) and use the Viewsonic VX922 as a HD tv? this would b a awsome bonus cause i want a hdtv ASAP but if the Viewsonic VX922 could do it i can wait till say november for me 42"hdtv,

thanks in advance

image interpolation outside of the native resolution will lead to some deterioration of the image quality, mainly a drop in the sharpness. This isn't really a major issue for gaming, but will look bad in Windows. If you've got your eye on a TFT then the VX922 is one of the best choices for a gamer, but i would recommend looking at one in action first to decide whether it is suitable for your needs as a competitive gamer. You cant hook up a console directly to it since it doesnt have any additional inputs. If you can hopok it up through a PC using a TV card then obv it would be ok though

thanks for the reply am gonna get a hdtv end of the year so thats not a issue just wanted it cleared up thanks, well i would run windows rez on the native res and if the distortion isnt going to b major in game i may risk it and get one. really facny a nice lookin tft, and hell if its not up to it i will juist give it to me gf and use my current monitor. (cs is the only game i play at 800*600)
