My BenQ XL2420T arrived today, my first 120 hertz screen. I heard the standard FPS1 settings aren't that good, any suggestions on what settings to use for ET?
LCD monitors with 120 Hz(small monitors) usually cost a lot more than normal screen. add the awesome pivot function of this one to it and some gaming marketing and there you go, I have to say I absolutely love it already.
LG cost arround 200 euros for a better Monitor (atleast for gaming)
A lot of marketing!!!
ofc you'll love it since its your first 120hz, but the money isn't worth it (i read few test of this monitor and those real bench show you that benq cannot into making monitor)
1 party day at the weekend costs me about ~50 euro and it's like max 7 hours(note:>max<) while this screen costs me 350 and will surely get me countless hours of better experience/more fun in games :]. and yeah I had some money left I could spend so why not.
I don't know if you've tried to play 1920x1080 on a 24" but it doesnt look good, would need 140 fov to make it right and that just makes things way too far.
I am, too. Weird, to me it looks weird, if you compare it to rmode 6 or 8, like the screen is supposed to be bigger in order for it to spread out nicely, do u know what i mean?
Hmm, yea I think I know what you mean :p
well the feeling is different no doubt. But 1920x1080 is pretty nice to play with imo. I probably prefer r_mode 4 over anything else but there's no way I'm playing that stretched and black bars do not cut it for me :P
aha yeah r_mode 4 is nice but there are little downsides like supply back-fence you CANT SEE SHIT lol,
anyway, you're playing on full hd then? and did you put any commands other then the r_mode -1 bla bla to make it better?
I'm using the standard FPS mode, I just switch to it whenever I play ET. I have tried messing around a bit with the custom settings but haven't found anything that feels as nice as the standard FPS one.
But I'm sure you can achieve some really nice results by combining it with dynamic contrast. I saw some photos of CS 1.6 that looked really, really nice.
r_mode -1
r_customwidth 1920
r_customheight 1080
