Does a large 32" monitor / TV improve dot visibility..?
 

Can I expect better visibility if I go out and spring for a 40" led tv..?

Also, would my GeForce 560GTX run something like that with picture clarity..?

Thx

Apparently the higher the resolution the later you will see dots.

Bigger monitor size for same resolution = bigger pixel size (and dot pitch). So the answer is yes.

Edit: Just to clarify: suppose you have a 23" 1920x1080 monitor (like me). If you buy a 40" tv with same resolution (1920x1080) - same number of pixels: 2073600, how comes the screen is bigger? This is accomplished by a bigger pixel size.

I don't have the aformentioned problems with dot visibility.:-D 30" LCD computer monitor beats TV big time. Virtually no dot pitch that you can see even up close on a my monitor. Fine detail is superb. Native res is 2650 x 1600.

That's prolly what I am looking for, Icarus..

What brand do u have, and how do u like it..?

You can not beat the larger Dell monitors. They are (in my opinion) the best bang for the buck when it comes to the larger end of Computer monitors. There are some professional grade beasts out there, but they're approaching $10,000 each. Dell or go home!

Just out of curiosity, what size monitor would be considered life size as far as your view in cockpit? Anyone know?

360º FOV monitor to project "real" 1:1 image size with "perfection".

If you use minor FOV, even 15" monitor can provide 1:1 cockpit image near "life size".

+1, I always look around first but always end up buying Dell.

Samsung SyncMaster 305T 30" LCD Monitor

I love it.:-D Once you get used to a 30" LCD monitor the TV's look like someone put a screen door in front of it (especially up close) because of the large dot pitch on TV's. You can get right up close to the screen on the syncmaster to pick out targets and the dot pitch is minute and barely viewable. That is why they cost more than TV's though. Mine cost $1200 IIRC vs $600 for a Sony 40 inch LCD TV.

I also have a 5' screen and high end DLP projector. While the scale is impressive and fun, I will trade the large scale for the quality of a 30" LCD computer monitor everytime. Size matters, but it isn't everything, especially if the cost is larger dot pitch. Others may find otherwise, but that is MHO.
