27" to 30" Gaming Monitor
 

Hi guys,

Could you give me some advice on what is good?

I know the dell ultra sharp are very good monitors but they are way too expensive, so what do you guys have/recommend.

Btw I have a 24" acer ATM but fancy going a bit larger.

I use a 32" 100Hz samsung TV. Works for me...;)

Can you share the exact model?
Do you fly with vsync on? Are you experiencing any ghosting or blur?

Regards.

This is the model I use: Samsung - UE32D5000 - 32" LED-backlit LCD TV - 1080p . Obviously some people think a dedicated monitor is better ( I had a 22" samsung monitor before) but I personally don't have any problems with it and don't see ghosting or blurring. I have v synch on.

TY for the feedback.

ive been wondering what is it within a TV that can make it good monitor ? what does one look for basicly ? or is there some trial and error.

my dev friend uses 2 x 32 inch samsung tv,s for his kartsim development and wonderfull looking graphics. when i plug my pc into my 37 inch its just stupidly crap looking.

I love my panasonic 42" lcd. Its awesome for il2. no blur issues at all. And I can see planes and bombers from max distance

I was just about to start a similar thread after listening to you spotting targets miles away last night on ATAG! What model is this? I'm interested in the resolution particularly since I would need to use it for text too - thanks.

I am currently using a 32" LG, 60 htz with a 1366x768 res.

It's great, but come Christmas day I will be mounting the 40" Samsung 120htz, 1920x1080 native res, it has a 60000:1 dynamic contrast ration (which should help my eyes a bit) and of course 1080p HD.

The Christmas fat man is good this year, giving me a Logitech G940 flight system as well...so, I will be crashing and burning trying to get used to the rudder peddles...so all you blue aces take it easy if ya see a Spit wobbling across the channl :-).

There is another option..

Matrox TripleHead2Go

Long story short, it combines 3 monitors into 1, such that you only need one video card.

Example of typical TH2G setup

The periferal vission of this kind of setup is hard to beat.. For examlple, when I look left (270) I can still see the tip of the nose of my AC in the RHS screen and the tip of the tail of my AC in the LHS

So, if your looking for a cheap way to do widescreen.. think TH2G.. You can pick up 3 normal size monitors cheaper than one big wide one.. Only real downside is the boarders of the monitors.. but.. to be honest, you dont even notice them after playing awhile
