Just out of curiosity, what would you need to game on this LCD?

My guess is it wouldnt be possible at that resolution. Simply not enough GPU horsepower available. Just imagine if/when we can/do play games on 3840x2400, it will be INSANE!

Comments?

I think you need a gpu from the year 2010.

And play games from the mid 90s

Current price: $4795.00

maybe Ultra Quad SLI ... if you game on it ...
--i tend to think most professionals will not be using this LCD for gaming


i bet it still looks good at 19x12
:Q

Didn't know they made anything like that.

Thanks for the post.

FYI

22.2" @ 3840x2400

is a pixel size of 0.1245 mm!!

By comparison
A 17" Laptop @ 1920 x 1200 has a Pixel size of 0.191 mm
A 15" Laptop at 1920 X 1200 has a pixel size of 0.168 mm

I have a Dell laptop 17" @ 1920 x 1200 and a rarely run it at full resolution - I can't imagine what this must look like!

I'm sorry I don't have anything to really contribute to the discussion but I just want to say...All that is just purely INSANE!!

 

[undeclared]

Heh, I'm pretty sure its like 50 ms

A day is coming when we see that resolution (or similar) on our displays.

I just hope it's a lot sooner than i think it will be.

I have this monitor and use it at work and my dad has two (one for work one for home). My home system (8800 GTX) can run CS:S at this resolution without any problems get 80+ FPS on the stress test. WOW seemed to run ok at 3840x2400 as well. My 6600 GT at work can run q3 @ 3840x2400 but it doesn't run that good (40-50 FPS).

The biggest problem with this monitor; however, is the fact that even with dual DVI you can only do 33.7 Hz (that is with modified modelines/timings). By default it will only do 24 Hz at this resolution. with 2 DVI's and needs 4 DVIs for the full 41 Hz but you can't really buy a 4xDVI high-end video card.

 

[soccerballtux]

Wouldn't be hard if they make it so the 2 Dual DVIs simply appear as 2 separate monitors to the gfx card.

 

[alcoholbob]

Lol, so at optimum the video card can only have an effective refresh speed of 30-40ms. Not including monitor input lag or response times. GG!

 

[CP5670]

That monitor is very cool (it's the same as the IBM T221), but its response time is something like 60ms, with a maximum refresh rate of 48hz if you connect four DVI cables to it. Forget about playing games on that.
