Yes this is a brag blog, deal with it.

So I decided to get myself two screens again (been on a old CRT monitor for the past 6 months) and found two sensible screens, BenQ 24" LCD G2420HD, for a good price, $200 per screen, and decided to get two.

So I got them yesterday and holy fucking shit they're big :D going from a 4:3 19'' CRT to two WS 24'' TFTs is quite the change. I mean I love it but I also think I'm gonna break my neck while switching screens :D

Anyway, here's a pic:

Actually going from 4:3 to 16:10 or 16 is quite a significant change.

Wide-screen = win imo ...

It's only bad when you play BW

Congrats on your new monitors, look sexy =P Now get a black Dell keyboard and you're set.

Does anyone other than me automatically think that someone is talking about the size of their danger zone whenever they see "inches," no matter whether its 4" or 24"?

Probably not, just me.

Oh, and on topic, those screens look damn sweet. Never ever had any widescreens at all (nor tried). tt

Sexiest display ever. Really wish it were mine, but $6500 is a bit out of my price range.

you must not play much starcraft. I have a 21.5" screen and I think it is a bit big for having good screen awareness. 24" would be way too big imo.

Yeah I know what you mean, almost exactly the same with me. When I built my new computer a few months ago for beta, I got myself a 24 inch widescreen monitor after having used my shitty laptop with a 17 inch screen for the past 6 years. It felt so frickin massive at first, I was in awe.

And now...

I'm using a 42" and a 22" (both 1080p)

[image loading]

Once you go HDTV, you can't go back :D

As far as "screen awareness" 22 inch isn't anywhere near too big. It obviously depends on how close you sit to your monitor but anything above 37" starts to be a problem because you have to turn your head to see everything

Uh. I payed 500$ for 1 24" monitor instead of buying an HDTV for a reason. A good monitor looks way better.

Hell yeah, im on a 32" HDTV, sc2 looks unreal on such a nice screen. Have to play in windowed mode though so I can see supply count.
