So I read that "Gaming LCD" Thread, but it hasn't been updated in a while. So I was hoping to get some feedback on newer monitors.
The background: I have a 19" CRT, I play games exclusivly on this computer, Its running on a 7800GT.
My ideas so far: I'm thinkin about the 19" or a 20" widescreen. I won't claim that I notice 45 fps compared to 100 fps but I would argue that I see the drops in framerate and that can be annoying. I have a 7800GT and probably won't be acquiring a new graphics card anytime soon, so I need it to run pretty well at whatever native resolution. I don't play games for eye candy as much as immersion, so I don't need 16x aa and all that jazz. And my last question is as follows:
If you have two settings to pick from: a) 1280x1024 with all settings maxed compared to b) 1600x1050 with medium settings , which would look better? would there be a performance (FPS) difference?
I'd like to spend less than 400, preferably closer to 300 or less.
I've found a couple I like, let me know what you think.
