Tris Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 In that case think ViewSonic flatscreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. Ayers Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 Yeah Tris, that's exactly where I was looking. What do you think, PF790 or for $200 more go for the G810? It's not flat, but it is 21". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted December 28, 2000 Share Posted December 28, 2000 I would recommend the LG Studioworks 995E. It has one of the very finest pictures available in a 19 inch monitor and will run you less than $370 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I'll second your recommendation Lee. I went for the 995E LG 19" screen as it rated well in many reveiws and also got PC Magazines Monitor of the year in its class. It was actually cheaper than a 17" Sony flatscreen and if the LG's picture is of a lesser quality, I'm buggered if I can see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inntrepid Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I just upgraded 3 of my computers at home for my boys with Abit KT7 w/ AMD Duron 800s. I am planning on upgrading mine to a Abit KT7 Raid w/ a AMD Tbird 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuka Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 Lee, what resolution do you play the game at with the 995E? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tris Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I'd definitely check around, as you never know what else might not be available now. My ViewSonic is the PT795, purchased a year and a half ago. With a GeForce2 GTS w/64 MB DDRRAM I've no trouble at all running constant resolutions of 1280x1024x32 @ 85MHz screen refresh rate. That should give you a reasonable idea of the kind of performance you're shooting for, or at least the sort of thresholds the current state of the art will afford. As for "flat" versus normal CRT's: the former handle reflected light and glare better, but will cost you a few more bucks as a rule. For me it was worth it, but then again the one thing I take in life seriously are games, so what can I say?

Lee Posted December 29, 2000 Share Posted December 29, 2000 I'm playing at 800x600 right now, but that's just because I need to upgrade my system before I run it at a higher res. When I upgrade, frame rate will not be an issue at all, and I plan on running at 1024x768 or 1280x1024, whichever gives a more pleasing dimension to the eye while playing. The picture quality on the 995E is fantastic, bright vibrant colors, gleaming whites, solid blacks. And this monitor supports very high refresh rates, so one can get super fast frame rates out of that new video card one just bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
