I'm looking for the same thing, except for 24" lcd's. I'd like to be able to fit bigger ones in the future though. But it is impossible to find anything reasonable locally so I'm thinking a more sturdier and permanent DIY setup for 24" screens. These TN panels are so cheap that if and when I get...

Absolutely it's worth it. But I'm unsure whether it's worth the money... I bought shutter 3d glasses for $10 off ebay and used them with my 24" crt and pretty much only games i played were cod series, but it was definitely worth it. But I still wouldn't buy a 22" monitor and glasses for...

Don't be fooled by the mac gui. I get the same feeling on a pc everytime I change skin/theme. New always looks so much better and sharper and everything to me, guess I don't see the details after I get used to something. Same thing happens when I occasionally use a mac, haven't tried the very...

The only monitors that could be even compared are those two 120hz ones. But they're 1680x1050, I'd wait for the 1080p ones to show up before buying a new one. But because those cheapo lcds are so cheap, You could buy a 60hz acer just like this http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1466381...

I couldn't care less if it's orange if it is 1080p and 120hz :D Glossy is bad though, but I'm sure as soon as they get the first ones out there will be a flood on 24" 120hz diplays.

Well there are the 2048x1152 panels and they hardly cost any more than 1080p. 2560x1440 sounds a lot sweeter though...

Do you already have two displays? I couldn't live without two so get 1080p for primary and keep the old as secondary. I wouldn't call it a huge upgrade though but considering they're cheap I'd say go for it.

Something actually useful from Apple, oh my. What if I bought the iMac and threw the "iMac" part out the window, would it work as a normal display? And snowdog, You could potentially use a 30" display for ten years, but enthusiast who's paying 1700$ for a monitor wouldn't be very happy if it...

I actually measured the hd2411, it's 61cm which is exactly 24" The only difference between the two is that 2420 is glossy.

No need to buy PCI card when he has PCI-E slots. I already posted the cheapest option. PCI card works too though, just cost twice as much and may have driver conflicts. Only con is that PCI-E may need a little hacking to make it fit unless the x1 slots are left open (in some mobos they are in...

No you don't. Even though You dont mention yor mobo in your sig, if you have a 754-mobo you can add one or more gpu's. Any pci-e slot will do, even the x1 slots. They can't be used for sli of course, but work just fine for additional displays. Just get this for example...

There's no difference. Single is the way to go. If you want more GPU power with Crossfire/SLi setup then it's a different thing. But then you have to connect both monitors in the same card anyway because sli/crossfire does not support outputs in multiple cards (at least they didn't some time...

Absolutely true, and the test is wrong too. That is the problem, any display outside their native resolution/refresh rate will show more or less lag. Test should be done at 120hz, but finding a crt capable of 1680x1050@120hz is difficult, but not impossible.

Do You have any reliable source for this because I believe this is false and due to a few idiots making a review of something they don't understand. But anyway, 120hz is always better than 60hz, and even more if (and when) theres no need to use vsync. If you can afford it and like online gaming...

If You'd put a black picture in it could you still tell it's on? I like to use black screen saver (but no auto off) and often forget my monitors on because it is impossible to tell if tey're on or not no matter how dark room. Now I'd imagine that they have infinite contrast ratio because isn't...
