Whoa, you play FPS with a trackball?

I use VLC player to play H264 and have not tweaked my settings.

Have been since Quake 2, and I wipe the floor with anyone at LAN parties

It is far easier to move 1 finger to steady an aim then it is to move your whole hand.


Momma always said work smarter not harder.

P.S. The USB keypad on the left is what I use for movement. When I show up to LAN parties all I bring is the Trackball and Keypad and no keyboard . I usually have to borrow one to enter server names and such.

All though its huge and sexy the image looks so what grainy or is that just the pic.
But overall that looks BADDD!
But i sure bet you youd need 2x x1900xtx in CF to run that at max res on HL2.

No, my 7800GT pegs it at 60fps (refresh) with 4x/16x.

Amen to that. Most people don't realize (or get frustrated and never take the time to learn) just how good a thumb-operated Logitech trackball can be for gaming. I too have been using one since around Q2 days and loving it.

Those shots look rather blurry, even compared to my 852x480 plasma running 720p:

And I just got an GDM FW900 too. Right now my local best buy has this 1800 but I'll be waiting for a sale on this. I'm in if it hits <1500.

Very nice monitor... It is very similar to mine, size for size... My Dell is a 30" with 1280 X 768 and looks almost indenticle to yours at 37"... Not bad at all.

What are your opinions on it? Do you like it better than your old 2405?

When I had a few grand to purchase a display with, I thought long and hard, but after seeing the 30" on display, I had to get it... Running at 1280 X 768 is awesome, no complaints. Happy for your purchase! Great buy and a lot of fun... It is just hard to use my work monitor, that is only 17" :-(

Edit ** That is totally the same type of setup I use... I am litterally like 2 feet away! So immersive...

Also, to the person who said it looks grainy. Take a look at the link of mine in my sig... Looks the same, right? That is because a camera cannot capture the picture quality. Mine is grainy too. But in person it doesn't look grainy at all and looks like a laptop LCD display, essentially.

 

[SpeedZealot369]

But in games does the resolution go any higher then 12x7?

 

[Todd33]

It's hard to take a pic of a LCD without flash without the exposure making things blurry. I may try my tripod and turn the ambiant light up. Anyone know of a good place to find 1920x1080 wallpaper?

I still have no idea why it was that cheap. It was only here in Houston and a few other cities. I just happened to catch it on hotdeals.com...

 

[Rage187]

was $1199 in Charleston as well during the texas deal. I just moved here a couple months late and had to pay the extra $400.

 

[Lurknomore]

Very nice, I wonder how this compares to the Sceptre at Costco.

Also, the Westy 37' always looked a little washed out compared to the Sammys and Sharps next to it at BB, perhaps because the brightness was set way higher than the other 2.
Of course, neither of those 2 has any 1080P for under $1500.
