I'm used to a 19", but due to some screen flickering problems(if you want to help me, read this thread), I bought a 21.5". After testing it a bit, I can't decide if it is too big. I feel that I can't get "the big picture" of the game, and that I have to move my head very much to get sight of both the minimap and "mainscreen". Right now I can't decide if I'm going to return the screen or not.

What do you think about this?

if you get used to it, then you will be fine. it's hard to tell if it wont work for you right away because you are not used to it. for all you know, it will be a better match once you do get used to it.

tbh i would just switch to the new/bigger monitor because i had a similar problem with a flickering monitor and it was annoying as hell.

I use a 22 inch 16 monitor. I have played on a few laptops and other screens and really it just comes down to what you are used to. After playing on my monitor for so long its wierd when I watch some one play on a different aspect ratio. Just keep using it and you will get used to it.
When you play the game of drones you win or you die.

How did you fix it? It's nothing to do with the screen, I got flickering on my new screen as well. It seems to get worse when I move the mouse :/

well i had a two year old lcd. pretty much the backlight broke and it would be more expensive to replace the backlight than to buy a new monitor. lcd flickering generally means backlight issue. not sure what type of monitor you have, but i bought a new 20 inch led to replace my 19 inch lcd.

My 17in laptop is pretty sweet. I played on a 21 or 22 when I had my desktop. That's fine too.

Once you start getitng over that, it gets to be a bit much. I rigged my laptop to my 42 in tv. Cool, but totally impractical

I was using a 19" for the longest time. Recently got a 24" playing on 1920x1080. At first I thought I may have gotten too big of a monitor, but after a few days I adjusted to it and really like like it.
