Looks nice! What GFX card would be best to support this type of monitor?
Parent
▼
envyy 14 Aug 2011, 17:32
depends if you want 3D or not, if u dont care about 3D i guess any card with DVi would go
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 17:37
Nah I'm not bothered about 3D really :P
Parent

envyy 14 Aug 2011, 18:02
Then its plug and play! :) just dont forget to set ur refresh rate in ET and in gfx panel to 120 hz when u get it
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 18:12
I will :) but atm I have an nvidea geforce 9600 GT, is that not quite out of date for some of the newer games? :/
Parent

envyy 14 Aug 2011, 18:22
you'll have to ask some one else about GFX cards, i've got a computer who barely handles ET :( :D

actually it is dual-link dvi.. there is some difference, being that it won't do 120 Hz if u set it up wrong.
Parent
▼
envyy 14 Aug 2011, 18:59
Yeah ofc, but i dont think u need any particular gfx card who supports dual dvi?
Parent
▼
an1mal 14 Aug 2011, 19:12
I am not sure but I think you need a dual-dvi capable card to get 120 Hz working.. what I do know for sure is that 8-series geforce and up support the 3D.. :)

Any card you can find these days will do.

xPERiA 14 Aug 2011, 17:32
not as much ! it's damn well worth it though I might've even bought it even for that amount of money, it's really insane man. huge diff when u come from a 17 or 19" screen though : D
Parent

rossko 14 Aug 2011, 23:12
not rly cause you can make it a 17" and 19" :DDD

nice but perhaps a bit too expensive

335 Euros = 294.157477 British pounds

Still quite expensive as I am thinking about getting a new gfx card as well to replace my nVidea GeForce 9600 GT cause it's out of date I guess. :(
Parent
▼
xPERiA 14 Aug 2011, 17:38
well I can assure you it's worth every pound :) My brother's got it aswell. It's even more insane for some movies ; -)
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 17:39
Hmm well if it's as good as you say I might just have to save up for it :)
Parent
▼
xPERiA 14 Aug 2011, 17:40
You should, it's muuuuuuuch better than any of the other ones mentioned in here. Did I mention it's 24" ? : P
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 17:42
I looked at the specs so I've seen it. I can imagine some of the newer games and some blu-ray movies would look pretty damn awesome on this monitor :D
Parent

xPERiA 14 Aug 2011, 18:48

That's still newer than his card.

what, but i dont even get 125 stable fps on cod4....

Newer doesn't mean better. The 200 series became after the 9000 series.

What's the difference between 60hz and 120hz? xD
▼
imabob 14 Aug 2011, 17:22
usually 60hz monitors are black painted while 120hz ones are pink/red
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 17:23
It's like how fast the screen refreshes, so the more times the smoother it is :)
Parent
▼
duNzy 14 Aug 2011, 17:24
The monitor's refresh rate is how many times a second the screen redraws itself.

120hz = 2x 60hz(random homo monitor)


oh the smoothness of 120hz, cant even image

tho i dont give a shit
Parent
▼
infernal 14 Aug 2011, 17:27
And you actually see that big a difference or?
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 17:29
I noticed a big difference going from a 60hz TFT to a 75hz CRT, so i imagine the jump to 120hz will be highly noticeable.
Parent
▼
rize 14 Aug 2011, 17:54
the biggest question gonna be, if 120 Hz CRT is the same feeling as 120 Hz LCD
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 18:07
Indeed, but I think overall 120hz on either will be much better.
Parent
▼
ag0n 14 Aug 2011, 18:19
Had both, can't really tell the difference (smooth wise), although i preferred the CRT because of colors / view angle.
Parent
▼
ScarZy 14 Aug 2011, 21:21
A 75HZ CRT? Where did you find that?
Parent
▼
hsTE 14 Aug 2011, 21:23
Dad got it for me from some guy who was giving it away.
Parent
▼
duNzy 14 Aug 2011, 17:31
i haven't tested anything better than 75hz in my life


so yeah, i dont give a shit

probably its good for your eyes

i remember playing with Netherlands kris in cpma back in 2007, he was playing on a 130(or something higher i dno) CRT monitor, he was saying it's quality is priceless

so yeah

hastaf 14 Aug 2011, 17:39
It surely is a HUGE difference. I used to play with 75hz CRT but the last 1 year I have been playing with 120hz CRT. For now on even 100hz makes eyecancer. I can't even imagine to play again with 75hz.

Ronner 14 Aug 2011, 18:03
The difference is huge. Very very huge.

I heard sQUALL's monitor (can't remember the name) is one of the best gaming monitors on the market.
▼
skyz 14 Aug 2011, 17:53
Viewsonic vx2268wm
Samsung 2233RZ

The first one seems better, about the colors especially. But it is a little bit more expensive (20€)

QuoteThe VX2268wm is faster and produces more accurate colours than Samsung's 2233rz, which, for us, makes it the best 3D screen on the market today. Still, ViewSonic will need to think about lowering its prices as the current differences in quality aren't justified by the much higher price.

I'm rocking a BenQ XL2410T, with a dead pixel!
Even if I had 5 dead pixels I probably wouldn't use another monitor, for games anyway :P
Nice monitor, quite pricey though.

iiyama Vision Master Pro 514 :-)

Urtier got me one from ebay.de for 50 euros, it's been great. it's big and heavy but definitely worth it gaming wise. The difference is huge once you get used to it, I had 75hz TFT beforehand.
