My monitor I Have some major questions with.

I wanted an LCD monitor ot be easier on my eyes, the place I ordered my computer from had a lcd on special the Viewsonic VA712B with an 8 ms refresh rate I figured this would be great for gaming. However recently I have learned about things such as 6bpp and 8bpp and grey to grey and black to black and I was wonding if anyone could give me a general overiew on my monitor that I went with? Will it be easy on the eyes and good for gaming/chatting and surfing the web(extended use)? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this as I have tried myself and gotten several opions etc.

You guys seem to be experts so let me know what you think!

Thanks in advance

I think he meant his system cost 1329?
What memory are u looking for? How much?What brand? Are you planning on overclocking?
And I think this is his Case 6600gts are really usless if you plan to play fps and max or medium setting I will have to reccomend a 6800gt cause u went with a sli mobo .But if you want the best GPU and MOBO go with the offer from evga buy a 7800gt or 7800gtx and get a free evga mobo which are as good as the asus mobo you want

[Squeetard]

Not much to say duder. That is a great monitor. and monitors are so subjective if you like it that is really all that matters, really.

 

[Crescent13]

since you already finishied the compuer, there isn't much to say. what brand was your 6600GT? what brand was your hard drive?
