My buddy wants to get some new displays for his comp. He's currently running dual-display with an older Samsung 19" LCD and a CRT. Here's the thing, he uses it 90% of the time for gaming (WoW, a few random FPS's, AoC) but loves dual-displays (which, from what I understand, is not that great for gaming). The other 10% he uses for internet browsing, watching videos, music, basic multi-tasking, etc. He just wants to play games, max the settings out, and get 60 fps, which I know isn't ideal with dual-display setups.

So first, any input on whether or not he should do dual-display. If so, which ones? If not, which one? He has a 9800 GX2. And also, from my understanding (please correct me if I'm wrong) the 9800 GX2 is not very good at high-res. I havn't followed the LCD market much, but only the best is wanted (Samsung, etc.).

His gfx card (and some other specs just for funsies):

Nvidia 9800 GX2 (BFG I believe)
Quad-Core 9550
Gigabyte mobo (fairly new, he bought it with the 9550)
8 GB RAM
Antek PSU (I want to say 800w, but not sure on that)
Vista Ultimate 64

Thank you in advance guys. :D
 
Any 24" LCD would be nice. The space you get is a bit less than with two 19" LCDs, but if he primarily games then two 19" LCDs is just a waste.

1920x1200 is a bit much for his card to drive. He could also step down to a 22" LCD if money or resolution is an issue.
 
i love my samsung 22" widescreen has a 2ms and 3000:1
Only thing i wish i did was get a 24" instead of a 22"
 
Samsung T220. Really enjoying mine either for gaming or watching hd movies (vlc player).
