Widescreen or No Widescreen for PC Gaming LCD?

After (personally) comparing the 205BW with the VX2025WM, I would say that the 205BW is far more superior in terms of gaming.

What's your work environment like? If you work on an area that's pretty bright, depending on your setup, the NECs may glare and reflect the background light. It also depends on what you're viewing/working on. If you don't plan on using your monitor for presentations or viewing it from various...

Well, like they said about the duals... once you go tri, you'll never go back. :P

Widescreen or dual monitors?

Which Dell are you looking at getting? If it's the 2005FPW, the Samsung blows it out of the water. I own the 2005FPW and it's definitely a NIGHT AND DAY diff. ;)

New LCD opinions

Yes, it's definitely a sweet monitor and is very comparable to the NEC 20WMGX2 in terms of performance. Pros: - Great performance (very close in performance to the NEC) - Affordable - 4-way adjustable - Doesn't have glare like the NEC does during the day; which is kinda annoying when...

First timer buyer of a LCD, need recommedations.

I'd like to recommend the Samsung 940BF. I tested this first-hand with a few games and compared it to other LCDs side-by-side... and it truly is the best bang for the buck. I decided to test it out based off of xtknight's recommendation/guide... and it truly does perform as stated. I was...

Widescreen or dual monitors?

If you're on a budget, go for the Samsung 205BW. It also has support for HDCP and comes pretty close in performance to the NEC 20WMGX2. It's A LOT closer than the VX2520WM when I compared them side by side.

You probably shoulda traded it in... I found the Samsung 205BW to be better than the VX2025WM... IMHO. ;)

I'll second that... I returned 4 monitors in the past week... and finally decided to stick with the 20WMGX2. It was a tough call between that and the 205BW. :P

Monitor: On the look out! Buying one in a week, LCD (For gaming mainly)

From my personal testing and experience, I'd recommend the Samsung 205BW as the best bang for the buck. People have been recommending the VX2025WM, but I can honestly say that this is very comparable to my Dell 2005FPW. I even went out last week and bought the NEC 20WMGX2 and compared it...

Does your LCD have input lag?

You know... maybe we should ask the people who don't notice this issue: What games are you playing? FPS? RTS? Anything that's fast motion like Quake? Some FPS games don't require you to whip around as fast as in games like Quake... But this issue is especially obvious when you use weapons with...

That's pretty much my experience as well... but even when going to a lower res, I can still see it and it does affect my game play.

I didn't notice it at first on my 2005FPW at first either... it took me a month before I really started noticing these things on LCDs. Once I noticed my shots felt lag their were lagging (I too play Q3 a lot, usually Freeze Tag), I switched back to CRT (Viewsonic A91F+). My shots were a lot...

Whats the point of widescreen?

If you want the best bang for the buck for a WS, I'd say go for the Samsung 205BW. If you want quality and don't mind spending more, I'm with Marlowe13, go for the NEC 20WMGX2.

Need some help with a dual monitor (lcd/crt) setup

The way I deal with this is as follows: - My LCD is setup to be my primary monitor (according to Windows) such that my Taskbar and Start menu appear on it. - My CRT is setup as my secondary for games and is handled by using a program called UltraMon. So download UltraMon, install it, and...

LCD for gaming use (low res needed)

I'd recommend the Samsung 940BF or 204B. If you want WS, then go with the 940BW ($229 after MIR at Outpost.com or at your local Fry's) or the 205BW ($299 after MIR).

Some Specific Questions on LCD Monitors for Gaming

I just wanted to share my experience. I bought the VX2025WM this past friday and I must say I wasn't to pleased. It performed just as well as my Dell 2005FPW. So I decided to return it because I didn't want to own another WS monitor that blurred just like my Dell. I decided to exchange it...

20" WS LCD for gaming ~$300?

I just learned about the 205BW. I'm assuming that this monitor is closely related to the 204B. Is this a correct assumption? I'm gonna see if Fry's has some way of demonstrating the two monitors along side the 204BF, especially with some high motion graphics. Hopefully I'll be able to make...
