i am looking to replace my 5 year old 22" 1680x1050 samsung 2232bw, it has served me well but does make an annoying buzz when the screen is black, something to do with the capacitors i believe. 23" to 24"@1920x1080 is the size i'm interested in, i can't afford 120hz and i have a gtx480(which isn't going to be upgraded for a while +-1 year). i want to make the move to a HD screen but am wondering what sort of performance hit i will take moving from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080 keeping in mind i can currently run bf3 at full ultra setting at an average of 47.5 fps on caspian border. i would prefer to spend less than £150 but will go slightly over that if it is worth it, any input in appreciated and thanks in advance :)
 
ok, let me rephrase then :) how would my gtx 480 cope with a 24" 1920x1080 120hz screen, i would be willing to wait a few months more to save and get a 120hz screen if my gfx card can cope with it sufficiently ie: 30-40 fps. i don't mind waiting and spending a bit more if the end result is good.
 
thanks for the reply, the bit about subtracting 17% answers my original post nicely, doubtful i'll post enough to get the free postage, at least not for a while anyways, that is a nice screen and not too far over budget.
