1440x900 is actually less pixels than 1280x1024

As said above though, this screen is 1680*1050 which is 34.6% more pixels than 1280*1024. If anyone is set on gaming in native res then it's going to take a fairly quick graphics card, depending on the game of course. For instance I tried Oblivion in 1680*1050 on my CRT to get an idea how it would run on the Dell 2007WFP I've just ordered, and while it was fine most of the time, when you got into a fight with a few enemies it would get really choppy (see sig for specs). Oblivion is very demanding though.

You can always just run a lower widecsreen res, which is exactly what I'll be doing. TFTs out of their native resolutions when gaming aren't that bad really, it just softens the image a little.

I bought one of those MSI 7900 GTO's, and have overclocked it past GTX speeds so im hoping it will cope with this new monitor well

What GFX cards do you have?

9800 Pro temporary, and will upgrade that to something around £150, so will still be prepared to run this monitor less than native.

wow the price is so damn tempting.........i hate you gibbo!!!

Sandmaster500 · 21 Oct 2006 at 08:56

got a 7800GT personally. Thinking of upgrading my second PC soonish so might be a good excuse to upgrade my graphics card

I currently run an LG TFT. Forgotten the model number, but looks like the pictures of L1780U. It's 19 inch, and I bought it when it was sold here at OCUK for £350 incl. VAT.

Anyway, I run a 6800GT at the moment. Would it be worth getting this 22-inch one does anyone think?

The IPB · 23 Oct 2006 at 16:00

Gibbo, did this come in today? You said they should be coming in early hopefully.

it runs the same resolution as the 20" version, and i'm running that on a 6800GT, so yeah it'll be fine

Going to put my order in on Payday hopefully, those 70 odd hours of Overtime in September have suddenly paid off, even convinced the missus, even though I have a iiyama 19" at the moment.

Although more for Media content rather than games, I have had a 6800GT for 2 Years now and still dont run my games at more than 1024 x 768

force of habit I guess.....

But looking forward to getting this Monitor, the price is absolutey amazing in my opinion. Great one Gibbo.... just dont be adding more stuff like this.... I got to have a few days off my work, lol.....

The IPB · 24 Oct 2006 at 23:54

Gibbo any further news on when these are coming in ?

Hi there

Super news!!

Belinea have had their stock come earlier than expected, gotta be impressed by German efficiancy!

We have taken all the stock available and as long as couriers do their job the stock will be arriving on Monday.

Which monday? The website still say pre order. I'm so tempted atm to purchase one.

XC-Mantis · 26 Oct 2006 at 15:26

I pre-ordered one last week, and it's not arrived - I guess it'll be the Monday after next, since the website now reports 'Early November' as the expected release date...

The IPB · 26 Oct 2006 at 17:10

Aye, I ordered one last week thinking the post meant this Monday gone. I guess not, don't really want to have to wait but have no choice really.

SC04 · 26 Oct 2006 at 17:30

1000 is quite a big order.
