not completely necessary? you really drop the resolution of your games on an LED or LCD panel monitor? they're only meant to run at their native resolution... playing games on a lower-resolution would make it look even shitter than if you were playing on low-settings with no AA. i honestly don't see the appeal of these huge 24-26" screens - for console gaming, fair enough, you're 5 metres back. for a pc, though, you're literally a foot or two away from it... all day. why do you need so much space? i struggle to believe that it really gives you any benefit/advantage when pc gaming. of course, if you don't mind having to upgrade your GPU every year or two because you genuinely value having a big screen THAT much... then fine. it's your money, spend it as you wish. but i just don't see much value or necessity.

Agreed. In gaming it makes little sense but in other applications it's an excellent solution for when you really need the screen real estate.Uzique wrote:

most people i know do academic degrees on 15"-17" laptops... i'm still not seeing a convincing argument for a power-hungry 26"

Especially not for a PC. I sit like, 1-2 feet away from my monitor and I'm sure everyone else is roughly the same. Any bigger and too much head movement would be needed, I'd assume.
I've had a few cases where having twice the resolution I have now on a larger screen would be nice (programming, image editing, research with lots of open windows and files), but at the end of the day it takes a heavy toll on graphics performance in gaming that is not necessary. I think the ideal solution in this case, however, would be a dual 1920x1080/1200 setup - game on one screen and you can turn the other monitor on and off when you need it.Uzique wrote:

what ever you are getting (24 "1920x1200 ofc), get one with a thin bezel.

Talking of thin bezels, i saw a sony 55" tv in comet... Holy tiny bezels!!

I use a 15", 20", 24" and 27" display all at the same time when I'm working. Working from home on a 15" and 27" drives me crazy. I just don't have the space to get stuff done quickly.
If you don't make use of this stuff fine, but don't criticise those who make proper use of the extra space they have.
i use all of my screen space and then some (running 2 24s). if my desk had space id get another one. wish 30s werent so damn expensiveUzique wrote:

I just bought a sexy 27" and I can say that productivity has increased massively. Added to the fact that games look absolutely beautiful on a calibrated H-IPS monitor.Uzique wrote:

I could never go back from 2560x1440
But anyway, if your budget allows, go for a 24". If you want to delve into the real detail about monitors, I suggest you head over to
http://tftcentral.co.uk
and read through the reviews, and post there. You're not going to get a more informative view on monitors and all their little details, added to the fact that Simon (the admin) answers most posts personally and tries to help as many people out with their monitor choices (I have this monitor because of him).
link to your monitor plz

Cannot fault it. Absolutely perfect. You can get it in glossy or standard. I went for glossy because the images are very slightly sharper on a glass screen. It's also a lot easier to clean.

meh id rather have a 30 if im gonna spend that much. looks nice tho
There is no such thing as a 30" IPS monitor for less than £1000, and that's the cheapest and best looking 27" IPS monitor out there. That's not expensive, not by a long shot. Expensive is £1200.coolstorybro wrote:

Big big difference between IPS and TFT film.
true, i was just thinking it was around $800 because my friend got a used dell 30 for about that. that monitor looks awesome for the price. might have to get one
Academic degree folks don't have half a dozen remote desktop sessions, multiple database server sessions, development tools, project/collaboration, 20+ email threads, and bf2s, going on at once. I'd kill someone if I had to do all my work from only my primary 15.4" laptop screen.Uzique wrote:

Good and fine for those remote sessions. But try using Visual Studio on a 15.4" screen. I hate sliding windows.Zimmer wrote:

using 15.6" laptop with 17". works fine for me atm. But this new screen will be for my main rig
for a fatty you're a serious intellectual lightweight.
Either use my 27" home monitor, or use one of my 15.6" or 14" laptops dual screened with a 22" monitor. movies and games look amazing on the 27" IPS screen
22" looks tiny to me now, and the 14" is minuscule - but its just for super portability.

okay - i can see the benefit (obviously) for programmers and designers and people that are actually using the screen as a 'canvas', per se. but the average consumer or gamer? i think big screens are madness. the extra resolution in gaming is neat - sure - but it's actually a disadvantage if you're serious about gaming. lower framerates and much bigger space to pan around in = undesirable. i would never take a 30" to a gaming competition and hope to be any good. plus, who wants to spend £1k on a monitor and then have to drop near £500 every 2 years on an SLI set-up to keep up with the scaling demand? i guess that's fine for the top-percentile of gaming enthusiasts... but for your average joe, it's ridiculously cost inefficient.

A bigger screen means you can have it further away - thus reducing eyestrain.
And for CAD its very useful, as is a two monitor setup.

Fuck Israel
who games on a desktop set-up where their screen is metres away from them? at that point you're just altering the typical gaming desktop set-up to an absurd and pointless degree.
