19" 1280 > 19" 1440 worth it? & FAO 22" users

Hello ladies and gents.

as the title of the thread says, i was wondering if many of you think that such a switch would be worth it?

ALSO!..

I would consider a 22 LCD inch monitor if I wasn't so concerned about my FPS whilst running at native res. If you can convince me otherwise though, I'd be more than happy to listen.

I only really play CS;Source, 1.6, TM Nations and C&C3.. as far as source goes, at 1280*1024 I never really dip below 80fps (average 100-160), 70fps average on large 60 man servers etc, all settings maxed out.

could you live with a display that's an inch and a half shorter than your current monitor? if so go for it.



personally, 19" widescreens really are too small for me.
 
wahey, welcome to my world!

upgrading from a 17" CRT to either a 17" TFT or 19" widescreen. for me, its now got to be the widescreen. went to a PC shop and fiddled and although the 900 pixels vertical is 124 less than the native on the 17", it more than makes up for it with the width. looked especially nice with vista and the inbuilt sidebar.

but thats from a 17". if your going from a 19" you will loose a good inch to an inch and a half off the height for a inch or so more on the width, its a bit more tricky....

id suggest you do what i did, go to a shop that has some on display (preferably hooked up to a PC so u can use it rather than just watch the Vista promo vid) and then see how it feels. then of course come back and buy from OcUK, its much cheaper
