I really really need a new display. I've been using a 1997 IBM 16.1" CRT with my new build and it is crap. In dark games like FEAR it just wants to cut out at a certain black level and so you get those annoying red patches on the floor. It also takes up like half of my desk and I have to run my freaking desktop in 800x600 for fear of hurting my eyes with 60Hz 1024 (@_@)...
Anyway I've been researching LCDs for a while now and I have some guidelines:
1.19 inches
2.<= 8ms b/w
3.DVI
4.[500+]:1 contrast
5.95% rgb reproduction
The thing is I hav a Venice 3500+, 6600GT and a gig of ram so certian games just won't run at 1280x1024
I'm not willing to spend more than $400 shipped with a cable on this comp, as it has already pissed my mom off that I'm spending so much just to play games.
So do you have any suggestions?
I was thinking 940b but as the rebate has just ended some of the veiwsonic offerings are looking very good.
I'm not going to go for the hyundai becasue I want quality scaling hardware, don't worry I'm not the kind of nÜb that runs in non-native resolutions tho.
