Best Upgrade from a 19"

Hey all,

I currently have a 19"... TFT monitor :cool:

What would be the best upgrade from a 19" that will still allow me to play games at a nice, smooth frame rate (Specs in sig)

i would say same form of 22" widescreen moniter would be the best way to go

Any particular one that you'd recommend?

The 8800 gts 320 would still be able to run games on a 24" @ 1920 x 1200 , as my x1950xt is doing fine , with the exception of crysis OFC

Cool sounds good

If I wanted to run games in a lower resolution on a 24" monitor (I.e. If I wanted Crysis playable

) Would the game look unusual?

Nope, still looks brill played at 1440x900 on a 24" with no AA even.

Personally id buy a second 19" for dual screens, probably more use than a really big tv size screen.

I was considering it - but I think I'd prefer a larger screen - Either a 22" or 24", but my main worry is whether I'll be able to play games the way I can now...

Thats why i wouldnt do it, i feel the bigger screens are more awkward to play with when you're sat so close to the screen and a 19" (for me) would be more than adequate. Will run smoother too as your graphics card wont be under as much strain.

Bigger screens are great for consoles, but for pc i think its overkill.
