Hello, I have a question which I can't find an answer to.
I recently ordered this monitor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824163130
It's not here yet (few days hopefully), but I'd like some clarification on the whole ghosting thing regarding non-native resolutions with a D-Sub connection.
From what I gathered ghosting is due to the screen moving faster than the monitor can handle, but if the monitor can handle that specific speed, then no ghosting will occur.
So if an 8m response time yields up to 125 frames per second, it's safe to assume you'll never get ghosting, as long as you don't pass 125 FPS, right?
Now, my question is this. Does running a game in a non-native resolution -- let's say 640x480 or 800x600 (in this case it would be bad, because the monitor is wide screen, but don't worry about that now) enchance the chances that ghosting will occur?
Enchance as in, change your response time to something higher than it is, because the monitor isn't running at its native resolution?
I read a few posts scattered across different message boards that ghosting was more frequent when they ran in non-native resolutions. Why?
Does this tie into your monitor connection type too? The monitor I purchased is D-Sub only. I was under the impression that since the monitor isn't running a crazy resolution (it does 1440x900) that I wouldn't notice any negative effects by not having DVI. A bunch of people said that DVI only made a difference if you were running at a very high resolution.
Also on a semi-related note, if you do have this actual monitor, a little feedback would be appreciated. How long have you had it, dead pixels, overall performance, etc..
Thanks.
