I recently got a new monitor the hanns g 28 inch hd one, from ocuk. I didnt think it be a big differance from my old 22 inch monitor but wow it really is.
When you see high res screenshots at it doesnt really capture it untill you see it and play it for your self. I cant even imagen how good games would look at higer resoultions and even bigger monitors.

I really though pc gaming was on its arse, with all the crappy ports we been getting of late ( was even thinking of jumping to the dark side and getting a console). But when you make the jump to high res and a decent monitor, you really see the true power of pcs and see the games the way they was meant to be played. It beats the arse of what any other console or hd tv can do. Even games 2-3 years old still look amazing. And breathed new life into games i was bored of.

Just thought i'd post my veiws on this cause i'm really happy with my new monitor, see if any one else felt the same way about high res gaming.

And to any one whos thinking about getting a high res monitor DO IT, DO IT NOW !!!

enjoy yeah always love higher res imo. 1900x1200 for a while now and nothing below will do. not sure i am equipped for 2500 type res yet . maybe in not too long...

Yeah i get that feeling too now, i dont think i could ever go back, but as new and more demanding games come out its gonna be expensive to stay at that res me thinks.

I dont want to turn this into a console vs pc war, i was just saying i havn't see anything on a console on any sort of hd tv, that beats my current set up. Even my console loving freinds have had to admit defeat.

Dont get me wrong though consoles do some things better, some of my most memorible gaming times have come from consoles. 3-4 of you sat round a big tv a few beers, the banter that goes on. You just dont get that from pc's

its a moot point when people are using pc's on those same hdtv's though. gaming on a big 'ol lcd or plasma is whether its on a console or a pc, it's better than any lcd monitor imo.

I have a big hd tv in my living room which i can plug my pc into, but still prefare my monitor for gaming. You can get up close with it and involves you in the game far more imo.

I would love to see the 30 inch 2560x1600 monitors in action.
