2560x1600. My Gawd!

Well, it all started with a $20 purchase of IL-2 1946 at Circuit City a few months ago. Was playin it with arcade settings and an xbox 360 controller.

Then one way or another I wandered in here and heard all of the good preachin about Track-IR4, CH Products, etc.....lol that $20 caused me almost another $500 in purchases when I picked those up, then I noticed that 8800ultras were down to $200 so I picked another one up for SLI, which I finally got working properly!

And then since I now had the video hardware, I found myself staring at 2560x1600 monitors. But I was not conviced that I should upgrade my monitor as I had been using my 40" 1080p samsung as my CPU monitor and thought that that was pure gaming bliss with IL-2. I mean really, 40" at 1920x1080 is a huge freakin screen and IL2 was great on it!

But alas I came across a bargain on the Gateway xhd3000 30" 2560x1600 for $899 at J&R and I could not resist any longer. OH MY GAWD people!!! This is how I felt when I got my trackIR to work perfectly!!!! Such a revolution to the game!! the DEFINITION IS MIND BLOWING even though it is an OLD GAME, and the 16:10 aspect ration lets you see so much more above you than the 16:9 ratio that my 1080p offered. YOU MUST GET ONE OF THESE 30" 2560x1600 beasts! I dont care what brand you get, just get one....divorce the wife, break up with the girlfriend, sell you children or send them to an inlaw, whoever tells you NO must be eliminated! Seriously, its that good.

So all in all that $20 game forced my hand on another $1700, but it was totally worth it!!
