If you've ever visited the Apple Store and compared the 23" to the 30", it is NIGHT AND DAY! No comparison!

Plus, today's cards are not up to snuff with these new size screens. It's better to wait for the next batch of video cards that will easily be able to run 3D at these high resolutions (plus with Dual DVI capabilities for 25"+). By then, the prices on all these large size LCDs should come down in price.

In other words, it's better to wait for those who take their gaming seriously.

There's ALWAYS something better around the corner. U'll wait for 25"+ and there will something bigger and badder around corner... and u'll end up waiting, and waiting, and waiting.... while using ur miniscule 15" CRT monitor :D

Uh, wrong bud. I have a 20" Dell Widescreen. ;)

The more I think about it, the more it makes sense to hold out until video cards support higher resolutions, LCD panels get lower in price, and the inevitable 27"+ screen comes out. THEN it will really be compelling for me.

For most of us who already have 19-20" of screen, I assume the 24" isn't as tasty as the next level.

I'm thinking of waiting until Fall releases as my 20" is PLENTY big for the moment

Why is 27~30" THE size to get?

Why not a 46"? There are lots of reports on HardOCP saying that today's cards work fine with their 2405s. Are you serious about gaming (you claim to have a 20")?

If you wanna game with reduced FPS with this huge, it's your perogative pal. Pick your poison. ;)

You don't have to game in it's native resolution, so where's the problem? I have an ASUS X850 XT, I'll be able to test the monitor out tomorrow so I'll let you guys know how it goes for me.

Why are you in this thread anyway ??
If you're not interested in the monitor, then don't bother.

If you're a serious gamer, you wouldn't be using a LCD anyway.
Everyone know CRT is the best for gamers.

Sounds like he's trying to justify his 20" widescreen purchase while looking for reasons not to get this one (not gonna find any in this thread). :)
