I'm upgrading from a very old 17" non-widescreen monitor. My non-widescreen monitor makes all my game UI's look cramped. I need more screen space. here's some good deals http://www.logicbuy.com/subcategorydeals/13/Computers/36/LCD_Monitors.aspx happy hunting and gaming! | ||

![[image loading]](http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/24-001-280-S01?$S300W$) I am currently using 3 of these, 24" 1920x1200. They also have hookups for TV/etc, so I have the left one also hooked up to a cable feed, and the one on the right a PS3. | ||

While technically a TV the reason I got it is because it has all the inputs of a TV meaning: - DVI - HDMI - RCA - YPbPr - Optical out - Headphone out I have my computer, Xbox 360 and Gamecube all connected with the monitor handling video and audio with the monitor set to use external audio. This way all I have to do is flip "channels" on my monitor (remote <3) and I can be playing my Xbox or Gamecube with audio coming out of my good speakers. It also has a HDTV tuner built in but I don't have much interest in watching TV. I have the H model of this without the analog stuff and the TV tuner because of the better response time. Also for all the bigger resolution is better dorks: theoretically yes, but you have to keep in mind that if you watch/play games on a non-native resolution (not on the highest possible) your uber-res screen is blurrier than a cheaper one displaying the content on its native res. So keep in mind that you need to have the graphics card that can handle games at the native resolution if the screen. I just usually buy mid-range graphics cards. So my choices are: -play SC2 looking crisp on high 1920x1080 on a screen with 1080p native res -play SC2 looking blurry on high 1920x1200 on a screen with 2560 x 1600 native res -play SC2 looking crisp on mid 2560 x 1600 on a screen with 2560 x 1600 native res edit: forgot to adjust resolution for 16:10 ratio | ||

Planning on upgrading to a 30" soon instead of a new LED TV (I don't really watch TV so I am considering a big monitor instead), and thinking of going with this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824176177 Thoughts? | ||

Is there any serious effect on SC2 between 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 or for games overall? Or is it just a matter of preference? The 1080p ones are cheaper around here, but still finding it hard to decide between the two. | ||

The 1080p ones are cheaper around here, but still finding it hard to decide between the two. There is no big difference its mainly preference. The 1920x1200 looks more squire because the it has a aspect ratio of 16:10 instead of 16: 9 for the 1920x1080. I prefer the 1920x1200 because I use to play scbw on a 4:3 monitor and I like the extra vertical space. Main: ASUS 25.5" 1920x1200 Secondary: ASUS 23.6" 1920x1080 | ||

All sizes are just relative to what you have been using before. I was on 15.6 inch monitor for 3 years, so jumping to a 23-inch monitor was really a sore to my eyes and difficult to cope with at the beginning. | ||
