For those of you who are gaming at 1920x1200, how far are you from your monitor?
Besides my setup below, I've brought my work monitor home this weekend (Samsung 22" 2220wm) to play some games on. I've really got no issues with either monitor (maybe I don't know what I'm missing) but thinking about a 24". Gaming and just a "wow" picture are my primary concerns.
The problem is, even though I'm a good 36" from either of these monitors,due to the design of my desk, a 24" lcd would put me about 28" away from it. Not that taking out the sawzall is out of the question, but my wife would seriously question that when I'm saying that I need this for "work"
Is the jump to 24" worth it? Not interested in cranking up details in Crysis, happy with COD4 and TF2 until gtx280 comes down to about $300.
The upgrade bug has been knawing at me all week and I need some help deciding. Spent too many hours this week browsing forums, Egg reviews, vga charts, etc. Options are:
1. Shut up and be happy with my setup.
2. Get a better 22" (Samsung 2253bw or LG W2522TQ-TF are options), then shut up.
3. Grab a 24" and see what I've been missing.....worry about GPU upgrade later. Caveat here is that I'd have a great 20" monitor and 8800gt to be sold......or traded for more beer and shotgun shells.
