Wow you guys need to check out this monitor!!!!! Perfect for Doom 3 and Half Life 2!!!! http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20041012_061715.html

Check the resolutions. No interest.

*Meh* Once they get the rez up, they'd be interesting.

What makes those particular monitors so "perfect for Doom3 and Half-life2"? :|

 

[Nyo_S22]

Why what rez you guys game at, you can't play higher than 1600x1200 on doom 3 or newer games with all setting to the max. You even need sli for that.

 

[Nyo_S22]

Check out the contrast ratio and brightness and checkout the access time 5ms

The low resolutions announced (1280x768 for the 23-inch and 1366x768 for the 32-inch), however, don't make the displays all that attractive to PC users

Response time is great, but the resolution sucks.

What happens if its plasma

What happens if its plasma

Plasma and computer don't go together... Burn in's occurr, and you don't want to have to buy new plasma TVs every year or so.

What happens if its plasma

Same thing that happens if it's holographic with a neural interface, it changes the original post a great deal.

So i'm not the only one this little chap is driving insane then... phew....

 

[Nyo_S22]

yea i heard about burnrate It was 2 years as opposed to lcd's that are around 5 years. But remember thats first generation, Plus toshiba has plasma out already, maybe its next generation. We'll have towait and see. Don't lie you guys are buying one for xmas

 

[digitalwanderer]

Don't lie you guys are buying one for xmas

No I'm not, I'm still only using CRTs as they still are the best bang-for-buck solution.

So i'm not the only one this little chap is driving insane then... phew....

Some days you get the bar, some days....

No radiation emitted from lcd or plasma , seriosuly though they are the best bang for the buck, but cathode ray tubes emit radiation. Plus lcd monitors and plasma look nicer, what rez u game at.

Yeah i've seen people dying from teh radiation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!11!1!11!
For real!!!11!11
People here don't "game". We look at 3DMark all day.

I play most of my games @ 1600x1200 and some of the older ones @ higher rez's (BF1942, Quake3 based games, ect @ 1920 x 1440). Some of the new ones I do need to turn down though....

-edit- I keep a moniter on under my bed at all times. It's my version of safe-sex.

 

[digitalwanderer]

but cathode ray tubes emit radiation,

:?

plus lcd monitor and plasma look nicer,

Good ones do, cheap ones don't.

what rez u game at.

Either 1024x768 or 1280x960 if the game supports it, usually with 4AAt2/8xAF v-sync on w/triple-buffering enabled where applicable.

yea i heard about burnrate It was 2 years as opposed to lcd's that are around 5 years.

Actually, LCD gets some limited burn in quite quickly. I started seeing shadows of my Word desktop icon appearing recently, although it's a strange effect, until the actual icon has been there it's invisible.

Rearranging the icons has eliminated the problem. But my estimate is that's after just a few thousand POH hours (and less than half of those have been on the desktop). Evening use only, had the monitor about 2 years.

 

[Nyo_S22]

And thats if your going to have an sli set up with current games.

 

[Nyo_S22]

Is that normal dio, i thought new lcd's were around 5 years??? What monitor are u running for games
