Worth going from 22" to 24"?

benlanky · 15 Feb 2012 at 13:39

Hi
I currently have a Samsung HS-95 22" screen and fancy something bigger, like this: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-033-BQ&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=

I currently use an old Sony 19" 4:3 monitor for dual display, so would replace this with my existing Sammy. All from a 4870 2gb.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Yes. Thats a superb monitor! I have 2 of them myself.

Hi there,

Going from a 19in 4:3 (1280x1024 resolution) monitor to 23/24in 16:9 (1920x1080) will be a mighty nice jump - no matter what you are doing.

As for a recommendation, may I ask what you mainly do with your system (eg. gaming, watching movies, surfing, CAD, photoshop)? Also, may I ask what is the model number of your existing Samsung 22in (the "HS-95") seems to refer to the 19in 4:3 sony?

Haha, I typed the wrong one in! It is a Syncmaster 2232bw and I will use it as my secondary monitor when I buy a new one - the Sony will go into a cupboard to gather dust.

I use it for gaming (fps) mainly, but also do a fair bit of office stuff on there too, hence using two monitors. And surfing, obviously.

Thanks

The monitor you linked is a good one. I used one for several years before I upgraded to my 27"

Thanks, my finger is hovering over the 'buy' button - I assume if I order before 4pm it should arrive tomorrow with free 'loyal forum members' delivery?
