I am about to make some purchases for a new build but I'm still undecided on which LCD to go for. I am trying to decide between the Viewsonic VP930b and the VA2012w (widescreen). I am considering the widescreen due to the higher resolution but I am concerned about the following:
1) Can't find any reviews on the VA2012w (relatively new)
2) I think it's a 6 bit panel (happy to be corrected) where I know the VP930b is an 8 bit.
How much difference in colour reproduction will there be?
3) Will a 7800GT be sufficient for this higher resolution or should I go for a GTX?
4) What are the implications of running different apps/games with a widescreen? I'm not
sure if I like the idea of having to constantly screw around with application/games
settings to make it look OK on the 2012w.
5) The 2012w has limited display adjustability where the 930b has tilt, swivel etc....
How much of an issue is this?
6) Will the trend for future displays be to go widescreen or will 4:3 displays still be
required?
Any opinions would be great.
Thanks!
