WHICH 30" For Games/Movie?

[Antx777]

Hello,


Having a look round now for a Good 30" TFT (2560 x 1600) for the future. I have would like to game at this res, and also use it for DVD/Blue ray etc. Photoshop IQ isn't "that" important - but would help.

I keep looking at this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-023-DE&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat=}Dell Ultrasharp 3008WFP 30" Widescreen LCD Monitor from this site here, but heard "mixed" reviews. Not sure what to do. Would, preferably like to hear from forum users' and how they find 30" TFT's for gaming (Lag.Response etc).

thanks for the responses, and "heads-up" on the Dell. some other monitors put me off a little with there Lack of imputs (Samsung 305T/LG W3000H-Bn both come WITHOUT HDMI inputs.

As for GFX cards, I have 2 GTX8800's running off a QX9650, so it would be good for "year-old" games (not the 2 year old crysis though. And OcUK have the DELLS back in stock!. As for GFX cards for the future, well, don't know really, as it's a bit confusing ATM. I have a SLI Striker II Formula MOBO, So i "THINK" Crossfire is out on the ATI Part, but will see what pops up. was going for 2 GTX285's - but I have the DX11 Bug i'm afraid




Thank you

I've got a Samsung 2693hm, so certainly not small, but it was/is the "resolution" i was/am interssted in, rather than the size (I wouldn't, myself for example, by a 28" TFT like this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-025-OK&groupid=17&catid=1120&subcat=

as it Does the same resolution as a 24"TFT . Thank for replies. Will have a "rethink" about purcahsing a 30". Maybe i would be better getting another 26"?.

thanks
