Good LCD for gaming? Good Price?

catback · 07-05-2005, 06:07 PM

Not bad for gaming and not a bad price for a 19". Be sure to check out the reviews before you buy it though, just from the link I already see two ppl with dead pixels and theres only 3 reviews on showing on that page so 2 out of 3 isn't looking so great. Good find none the less.

do not buy a 19 inch! A 19 inch is just a 17 inch stretched out. It has larger pixels and dosen't look that sharp. Go for either a 17 inch or a 20 inch, never 19.

Yeah what he said. I'm almost positive no 19" LCD supports 1280x1024 natively and the image is just stretched to fit the 19" frame. I know that 17" LCDs support 1280x1024 natively though. Better choice to go with 17" or 20"+. I'm actually trying to find one too, went from a 21" CRT now thinking about setting on this one.

I dunno. I have a 19 and it supports me just fine. ViewSonic. It's great, too. I game all the time with no problems whatsoever.

Nothing wrong with a good 19", if it doesn't look sharp then its a crap brand/model or the adjustments are set wrong. Where do you get the idea that the pixels are larger?

I had another thread similar to this one. I ended up going with the Hyundai L90D+. Got pretty good reviews for its gaming abilities.

Because 19 inch and 17 inch monitors have the same native resolution. Same resolution on a larger screen = bigger pixels.
