Computer monitors Session has ended.

ok im a huge gamer and i like the monitors because of space and the fact you can get 1080p in a 24 inch monitor insted of 40 inches in hdtv.i had the gateay fpd2185w to play 360 and ps3 games on.after i found out that i couldnt get 1080p on it i went out in search for another monitor.the problem im having is with how dark some of the monitors are.like they look great when it comes to like internet photos,etc.but when it comes to like dark games like dead rising for the 360 the game was way to dark on the gateway.ajusting the contrast only made it worst.so know i have the gateway fhd2401.its a good monitor for gaming but i can still tell its a little dark at times.so whats the best monitor for gaming and movies that can get 1080p.i have like two more weeks before to decide if this is the monitor i want to keep.thanks for the help man.

Would my video card be able to work with a widescreen monitor or do I have to get a 4:3 aspect ratio monitor?

Thanks for your help.

Was very informative...it looks like I will be waiting for your reviews...and for LED backlighting

what size monitor is the most popular right now?

What features and specifications should I be looking for in a better than average monitor for the pc that is also a HDTV.

Hi. What's the highest quality 30" display? I have my eye on HP's, but like Apple's exterior design. Are there larger monitors close release in the next 6 months?

hey,
Ive been looking to buy one of these monitors mainly for gaming purposes including pc gaming and some xbox orginial. I was also thinking about hooking up dvd player for better quality. ANYWAY, my question is, what is the difference between the Samsung T260 and Samsung T260 HD

Well, there is an older monitor the NEC MultiSync LCD2470WNX, which looks pretty good in some reviews...but its difficult to judge it. It was expensive when it came to the market, but now has a very affordable price. So maybe it would be a nice review roundup.

One more question: How is it with LED backlighting? Which 24" have led backlighting? Are there any? I know its a huge difference having ccfl or led...so maybe worth waiting??

thanks

I have always been a gamer and chose my monitors based on gamers reviews. Now, I still plan on gaming but I want a dual monitor set up for when I am doing website design and the like. I am looking for two monitors 22" or 24" in size. What would you suggest without totally breaking my bank?

1) Expansion Slots:
One 8x AGP (occupied by Graphics
Card)
Three PCI (two occupied)

2) I'm not sure how to determine my watt rating, Here's what my spec sheet says:
Power Requirements:
Min. 266W 100-120V 4.7A (50/60Hz)
Power Management
ACPI 1.0 Compliant
Hope this is what you're asking.

3) When I go to
properties and then
settings
the highest screen res choice I have is 1280 x 1024.

I'm using a 17" Sharp LL-T17A3 lcd which is pretty bad & a Gateway vx750 crt which is better but small.
Both only have vga connectors.

I have been researching to find a good 20"-24" monitor for CAD and 3D rendering. I can't seem to find a monitor made for those types of applications. The $1,500 NECs are out of the question. I can't afford it.

want to buy a media extender. Any recommendations?

My desktop's highest screen resolution output is 1280 x 1024. So the biggest monitor that I should get with a native resolution matching is a 19 inch, right?

If I wanted to increase my screen resolution output I'd have to install a new video card, right?

How do I find out what kind of card my system can handle?

Sony Vaio PCV-RS630G
Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 3.20E GHz
2gb ram
1MB L2 Cache
ATI Radeon™ 9200
128MB Video Memory (128-bit DDR)
output:1280x1024x60Hz max.)

Actually, I have seen the hp 2408 today in comparison with the samsung 245T. Its not so bad...I will wait for your review - seeing it in a shop, and seeing some game testing are 2 worlds.

Well, the dell is not my taste tbh

Im interested, if you have any info about some upcoming 24 inchers worth waiting for...

Thanks

Hi, Im having difficulties choosing the right monitor for the above mentioned conditions. I have a NEC 20WGX2, which is a great glossy monitor, but I would like something bigger.
Looking at tftcentral.co.uk helped a little bit, and the HP LP2475W looks like a winner. But, I have a workplace, where glossy works great, and I have seen the HP, and the colors are definitely not so "nice".
There are really just a few glossy 24" out now. Should I wait?
What is your opinion?

TN panel is not an option... PVA or IPS is what Im looking for.

Thanks a lot!!
