I'm shopping for a new LCD because my current 19" Hyundai L90D+ is dying a flickering death. I'm stuck between getting a 22" or 24" LCD. I've never used anything higher than 1280x1024 so the resolution difference is killing me. I don't run the newest games but I do enjoy playing some games and I want them to look decent and run smoothly (I can't tell the difference between 2x and 8x AA TBH). I want HDMI so that is a must. Here are the two monitors that I am deciding against but please feel free to add some more. The Westinghouse is about as expensive as I can go (450-500). Below are my current system specs.

AMD X2 3800+ @ 2.7Ghz
DFI LanParty Ultra
2GB G.Skill RAM
eVGA 8800GTS 320mb OC'd
SB Audigy 2 ZS

I don't want a 32" LCD TV. I want a 22 or 24" LCD. I don't understand how your reply is at all relevant. :confused::confused::confused:
 
Then I have no suggestion. I just bought a 24" Soyo from Office Max. IIt doesn't have HDMI, but for the price it's a great deal.
 
Other 22 or 24" LCDs, yes. Anyways, no need to defend. Anyone else?
 
Go with a Westinghouse Digital LCM-22W2! I have one and its an amazing monitor, the best part (besides the fact that the image quailty is awesome) Is that it has component video inputs on the side, so it can effectively double as an LCD tv (with external tuner) & works great with all the newest videogame consoles.

Good luck with your hunt!

I plan on getting the Westinghouse at the end of the week, the more I read about it the more I want it. When looking at it at Best Buy it looked just as good if not better than all the other LCDs on display.
 
The question is, will my video card be able to drive the games sufficiently on that resolution?

The lack of ram may give you a little trouble but overall you should be OK. I am running an X1950pro 512MB, I am really hoping the extra ram gives me just enough of a boost to last until the 2nd generation of DX10 cards.
 
Well I'm not upgrading my card anytime soon because I don't need it and I don't have the money. I just need the reassurance that I will be able to run games smoothly at 1920x1200. I don't need/want AA, just native resolution.
