SkyPup Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Contemplating a new monitor to replace my current 19 inch one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blairgowrie Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I keep thinking of getting a larger monitor Pup but I spent so much on my Sony 19" I just can't do it...... yet! But if I was going to do it, I would not get less than 24". From everything I have read on Ubi Zoo, bigger is better. Here is a link to a thread on using widescreen for il2. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/49310655/m/7111009546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted November 24, 2009 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I just got an Acer 24", with native HD 1920 x 1080 resolution(ACER/TFT/V243HBD) for £150 inc. Really pleased with it, not tried it with IL2 yet (have to re-install all my controllers in readyness for my 3 week Xmas holiday ). I would say to make sure it supports a higher resolution, compare specs amongst same size panels, and look for quick refresh rate and high contrast ratios. DVI/HDMI inputs are becoming a must have if you also want to view DVD movies, and multiple inputs can be a boon if you have a laptop or 2nd system.

DD_Brando Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Overclockers' own brand will be good - it's here. I bought a 24" 1920x1200 WUXGA from them last year and it's still working fine. It's a DiGiMate (DGM) and was on for £125 then. Gone up £25 since then but I guess it's Christmas! It's a very clean picture with no missing pixels and refreshes well. No ghosting or anything untoward. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyKnight Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 On a similar note, I'm thinking of buying a 2nd monitor. I currently have a 19" TFT, but I want to add a 2nd. The problem is, for me, most monitors now seem to be widescreen. And I'm still keen on a square'ish monitor. So for those who've switched to a widescreen monitor, what was it like? Are you happy with widescreen? It all came about as last night, I was playing a game, whilst also watching a live NFL game, and I kept having to tab between to the two. But if I had two monitors, I could of watched the game on the old 19" monitor, and played my game on the larger, new, one at the same time.

2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 7, 2009 2. Administrators Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 So for those who've switched to a widescreen monitor, what was it like? Are you happy with widescreen? No probs m8, you fix the resolution in conf.ini and it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweper Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Here is a handy site where i read some reviews before I bought my 22" Eizo monitor. I was looking for a monitor good for both editing pics (PSP) and gaming. I was also looking for a monitor with a viewing angle not less than 170 degrees. On the cheaper TN type monitors you have to sit in a perfect angle, if not the monitor is getting darker in relation to the angle of view.

GreyKnight Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Thanks for that link Swep, I'll give it a peruse once I find a couple of monitors I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
