I play on a 24'' 1920x1200 resolution

Got this monitor because it has multiple inputs for everything. (HDMI/DVI/VGA/Component/Composit/S-Video/USB)

3 ms response.

Don't have model # unfortunately but it's made by gateway and I got it ~2 years ago. (well under $300 retail afaik)
I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

27" 1920x1080

I feel that 27" is too big, thinking of getting a 24".

just bought this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236075&cm_re=asus_monitor_23-_-24-236-075-_-Product

is the resolution good? refresh rate? I am wondering because i don't know anything about monitors, and wanted a 23'' minimum with LED backlight..the asus was one of the cheapest i found..

i am still awaiting it to be shipped, do you guys recommend this monitor or should i refund it?

I just use a 19 inch monitor and play at 1440x900

I'm planning on upgrading to a dual monitor (2 x 24 inch) because then i can watch vids while playing sc2 while working and msning

But in all seriousness, it'll be nice to upgrade... only upside to this 19 inch is that it has cables for me to plug my 360 into as well and switch inputs

Just so you all know, advertised response time (2m, 6ms, 8ms etc) does NOT equal to real tests. There are monitors sold as 2ms that are are worse than ones advertised at a more realistic response time of 8 ms.

17" LCD, gonna upgrade though.
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.


[image loading]
16:10 = 1920x1200
16: 9 = 1920x1080

Since 1080p is native, you actually get to see more.

27 inch 2650 x 1440 (iMac) and a 23 inch 1920x1080

Too bad my computer doesn't have a powerful enough graphics card.... Since the iMac can function as an external monitor, I'm going to build a tower eventually and use it like that.

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.


Give it a few months and you'll be wanting a bigger monitor again.

I thought 24" was the sweet spot until I got 27"

I had a 26" for a month traded it in for a 22" 1920x1080 i don't sit that far from my monitor i just need the pixels not the size.

Yeah I suppose it does depend fairly heavily on how far you sit from your monitor. Mine is fairly far back so I can fit a tablet, keyboard etc in front without it being cramped. 27" works great for me

I was wondering how much of a difference 2ms is from 5ms? When if comes to response times on monitors of course. ^^

in LCD monitors the response time usually means gray to gray or black to white pixel response which reduces the after image ie ghosting that a few people can pick up on. Short of a high speed camera anything under 8ms is really hard to pick up on. the pixel response doesn't have much to do with the actual input latency of the monitor. Although if you are one of those people view sonic sells 120hz which have across the board better response times then the avg monitor, or you can buy the 1ms monitor, but it's likely under a gaming preset that turns off some things and really dips in the image quality. to me i rather spend that kind of money on a ips monitor from them and get better viewing angles and color accuracy.
