Are any of the 1080p 120Hz monitors other than the Acer and the Alienware models available yet? I should get around to buying a set now that NVIDIA surround drivers are finally out.
Cue my frantic (failed) search for the smallest 3D-capable 1080p display labeled as a "TV" rather than a "monitor".
Not that this would be practical in any way; I intend on using 3D Vision Surround, but since GTX 480s only have one HDMI out, I'd need to run 480s in Tri-SLI, which I don't really...
That looks very different, per the description on the site. Polarized? And almost certainly not 120 Hz, given the stated 5 ms response time. 3D Vision Blog suggests it's something very different as well: http://3dvision-blog.com/tag/zalman-zm-m240w/.
I really like the Razer Orochi. You'll need an extension cord if you're using it with a desktop, but it's the perfect size for a fingertip grip (vs a claw grip where the base of your hand is touching the back of your mouse). Plus it has the extra side buttons, which Razer's other small mice seem...
Yeah, I'm pretty sure "^AH" is just the initials of whichever Viewsonic employee is actually making the post, since it shows up a bunch in a bunch of tweets.
I could, but honestly, shipping 3 monitors to work seems like a bit of a dick move to pull on our mail room for no good reason when I have plenty of vacation days that I can just take if needed. Plus then lugging the stuff back home in a taxi or in the subway just becomes another pain in the...
Did you have to place 3 separate orders? I'm very tempted to get a set, but it's a hassle for me to receive packages, and I don't want to run the risk of having the monitors not all arrive in one shipment.
Definitely not enjoying deciding between rolling the dice waiting for this monitor to be released versus just pulling the trigger on the Alienware monitors.

The Viewsonic V3D241wm-LED will probably be the closest once it comes out, but it's only 1920x1080 and probably won't have DP; it will be LED backlit, unlike the current Acer and Alienware 23.6" 120Hz offerings.
120Hz means 8.33ms/frame; I'm not...
Only assuming you trust them not to delay it again. I mean, "May 24th" is nice and all since it's an actual date, but "end of June" sounds like it's just begging to slip. Sort of sucks if you have a second GTX 480 that's pretty much just sitting there doing nothing other than adding heat and...
Yeah \: It's just a bit of a pain, especially since I'm undecided on whether to wait for the Viewsonic monitor to come out as well, and besides NVIDIA's Eyefinity-like is pretty much never coming out anyway, so I won't even need the three smaller monitors until Forceware 256.x w/Vision Surround...
Awesome, thanks. This looks like mostly what I want, and it's significantly under the budget I had as well. I'll probably order something along these lines – but not for a few weeks; I just realized over the weekend that my current desk can't actually fit three monitors in any reasonable...
I'm not going to be doing hardcore number crunching, or anything along those lines, if that's what you're suggesting. I imagine that a system sufficient for gaming will be sufficient for whatever modest productivity demands I put on it, if any.
And it's not like tiny Manhattan apartments have...
Thanks for your help.
My concern specifically with Eyefinity is that, by my understanding, all of the 120 Hz monitors on the market require using dual-link DVI to work in 120 Hz. Neither the Acer GD235HZ nor the Alienware OptX AW2310 support DisplayPort, and it's not clear to me from the...
Why is 2x 80 GB SSDs preferable to just getting one 160GB SSD? It doesn't look like there is much, if any, price premium for getting the 160GB X25-M.
What makes the Alienware monitors better?
Let me be a little more clear about my goals. In order, they are
1) Achieve my desired performance goal.
2) Spend $5,000 or less.
3) Avoid overclocking.
So I'm fine with overclocking if otherwise I'd end up spending more than $5,000. And of course I'd be fine with spending less if I can...

Heh, yeah, sorry, I guess this is a little premature. I should probably at least wait for the real 480 release and more information on the NVIDIA version of Eyefinity.
Well, I'm wondering what I need to successfully drive three 120Hz monitors. Searching around the site a bit suggests that Eyefinity doesn't work properly with 120Hz screens. If that's the case, wouldn't I have to go with GeForce 480s? Is a single GeForce 480 enough to run something like Bad...
I'd like to start as soon as possible, but I'm willing to wait up to 2 or 3 months if necessary, especially if there would be some sort of advantage in terms of significant new hardware releases.
The only requirement I have in terms of the monitor is that it be a 120 Hz monitor, although I'd...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Mostly gaming. Some video watching and web browsing. Maybe live streaming as well.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$5,000 all inclusive, not firm. My goal is to be able to play current...
