Hi, I game alot and am seriously considering upgrading my monitor. I should be getting an "extra" $630 at the end of the month. I was considering upgrading my rig (been considering a 64-bit upgrade), but it is still working just fine:
System Specs:
Abit NF7 Mobo
M2400+ CPU (@11X200)
3x512MB Corsair 2,2,2,5 Ram
Antec Case w/Antec True 480 PS
GeForce 6800GT (@Ultra speeds)
Creative Labs Audigy 2 ZS Platinum
Logitech Z-680's
I mostly game and surf, but occasionally watch a DVD (Analog audio inputs for everything but DVD's, Digital Coax for DVD's). I honestly game about 15 hours a week (at least). What would be the best monitor for my use? I know that the lower the response time the less 'ghosting' I should get, what is 'acceptable'? How good/bad is the image quality for gaming (I understand that there aren't really White or Black on a LCD screen). I have even considered splurging on a Sony 23" LCD TV/Monitor ($999) but I think that is a bit over the top. I doubt it would be an acceptable Monitor for gaming, I am not sure that it would fit my desk right, and I would rather not spend more then $650.
I have considered finding a 19" LCD for around $300 and then spending the 'other' $350 on a 64-bit upgrade. I doubt that any $300 19" LCD monitor would suffice my needs though.
Please let me know what you guys think.
Thanks, Ken
