Monitors and gaming

Well i recently bought a new 26inch flatscreen for when the wife and I go away in the carvan. Since as it wasn't doing anything i hooked it up to the PC and continued play CSS on it. I some how got worse and worse at the game.... then to add insult to missery we are currently having a new kitchen fitted and me and the misses decided to move up my parents cos of the mess, i took my pc with me and i've been using my dad's 32 inch to play css.... and now i've gotten twice as bad as what i was on the 26....

So in conclution i have now realised that having a big kick ass monitor is pointless if your playing an FPS! GUTTED :mad:

Skill != hardware.

Not always, of course it helps. i used to own on bf2 with a standard dell mouse.

Saying that didn't PC gamer do a test on whether new hardware improves your playing skill.

I know one thing having a bigger monitor mess's you right up!

1300x768 or 1024xwhats it called usually the latter

There was a thread about this a few months ago. The general opinion was an FPS, especially online, was better on a smaller monitor but most other types of games, racing ETC were better on a bigger TV.

AGREED!
