Hello,
I currently have a Relisys 19" CRT and was hoping to jump on the bandwagon that is the LCD/TFT screen.
Why?
Well, currently I have a pretty small desk and it's hogging up the majority of the room on it.
I plan to get a new and much improved desk shortly, but think that I want a new monitor to go with the rig that I've recently bought.
The graphics card is a : Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) and hopefully that will suggest that the computer is to be used primarily for gaming.
Games such Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2, CounterStrike : Source and decently demanding games will be played on the system.
I know there are stickied threads - which have gave me a good few tips and pointers in regards to all of the jargon that comes with these monitors - but I probably need a few names fired at me, in relevance to my situation.
My budget sits around £300 - I could probably spend more but I want it relatively soon and I don't really believe in paying anymore than that for a monitor.
I wouldn't want anything less than 19 inches (no pun) and at most a 8ms response time, as I believe it will help my gaming. Ghosting would probably irritate me more so than most people - although I understand the monitor won't be a CRT.
I must say my initial sway is toward the Viewsonic VP930 - despite the reviewer (djohn) admitting he's not an avid gamer, it seemed like a nice monitor, both outside and in.
Feel free to suggest anything within my budget - I'm not too particular on brand names or anything like that - but obviously good customer service would be preferable, given the whole dead pixel side of things.
Not sure I can stretch it out anymore - Oh yes, it must be a bit black (tower, keyboard, mouse and speakers are all black) and a silly question:
- Are all games able to function in this widescreen format?
I understand this is a bit of an issue for some people.
That's about it - Appreciate any help.
Thanks.
