What resolution can you get? I'm thinking about getting one, but can't
decide if I would rather have three monitors instead. Decisions,
decisions.

You need 120hz. If it can handle that you should be fine, Oh yeah, and
you'll be utterly amazed as well! :)

GTR is the only thing that's dragged me away from IL-2 in weeks, so I'd
say you should go for it! :)

Best

"Decisions, decisions"?!? What about MONEY?!? Damn, I can't even afford a 21"
monitor, let alone one of those DLP thingys...

I guess so. Who woulda thunk it? I'll bet he's got one of them big Cougar
joysticks on his desk too.

I get 1024x768 native, which with FSAA, looks pretty good. I use the

Powerstrip. Very nice improvement over 4:3. All future racing games
should do this.

Bollocks. The DLP wheel is only 60Hz. What happens when you use a
slower refresh rate? Flicker?

Alrighty, then, it's on the list!

cheers,
Gerald

With 60Hz you'll get 30Hz in each eye. That you will find very
uncomfortable.
