What Srceen Recommendations for IL2/gaming

[dduff442]

I've recommended the monitor I own before: the Asus VW266H. It's fairly cheap and can display any resolution up to 1920x1200 without distortion or blurriness.

In the spirit of 'bigger is better' I popped about £300 on a Hanns.G 27.5" monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1200.
My HD5870 runs it fine, maxed out, and it is adjustable via the monitor software, either by presets or manual adjustment. It replaces the 24" that I was using, now being used my wife.

It's cheap and big and came without any dead pixels, and it shows off IL-2 very nicely. I hope it lasts

I had the super cheap and wuite good 28" Hanns for a weekend too before returning it to the shop and buying a used Dell 30incher.Its worth considering that whatever you buy ,at least for IL2 ,if you dont play at 1024x768 you will find it harder to see enemy dots...

It's so long since I ran 1024x768 that I can't even remember what it looks like. I ran 1280x960 on my 19" Iiyama when I got my Ati x850 and only moved to a flat screen about eighteen months ago. I can't imagine running 1024x768 on a monitor with a 1900x1200 natural resolution. I've not noticed any trouble spotting aircraft a long way out.

I have a Samsung T260 25.5" with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I see the enemy dots alot sooner when running 1024x768. The dots are physically larger when running the lower resolution. Frankly I don't see much difference in quality when I turn up the AA and AF.

I have a ViewSonic 28" LCD at 1920x1200 and can see fighters up to 8Km away (est). In Il-2 1946. Graphix is nvidia GTX 285.

Fantastic response from the forum as always .... many thanks to you all... Im looking at going for an e-IPS panel I think and the Dell ones come highly thought of. A bit over budget but I love the reports of clarity and true colour reproduction as Im a keen photographer too.

Im running an ATI 4870 1024Mb card by the way so I would prob stay with 22 inch....

I currently use this 25.5" monitor. For IL2 I use 1680 X 1050.
