LCD advice needed

Hi all, Well I was thinking about ordering one of these for my PC... http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=83120 The only thing I`m unsure of is the response time... would it be ok at 18ms...? I want to play GP4,GPL,GTR,GTlegends,RBR.. you know, all the best ones... Would it work ok ? as it`s a lot of money to find out ! Thanks for any advice, also would my desktop seem ok on it...

Why don't you ask the guys with the fancy cars that work in the same buildign as you. lmao

That Resolution (and LCD's only have ONE true resolution) looks a bit odd to me. I would be 100% sure your Video Card supports it properly. -Larry "Paulinho" <senninha1@(sad).btinternet.com> wrote in message news:d6ut6p$rcc$[email hidden]...

Ha ha, they work opposite my place of employment, and yes I`m talking to them, and yes I have seen more.. It`s just one of them put his finger on my lips when I saw him and he said " ssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh"... I guess he figured it was me on here.. so high "Dave". I have played it a lot more since my last post, a few other cars and other tracks, one track was 95% complete, I just can`t fill in the details yet.. otherwise I may loose my sneak plays !!

I tried one and it looked very pretty. But be sure you get a high respones time 17-18ms or better. I ended up taking mine back as there was some blurring on some tracks. Ended up with a 19" falt screen CRT for half the money.

You mean a low response time, under 16ms is best for gaming, the higher the number the slower the update.

I think the response is 18ms.. would that be enough.........?

I personally would be looking for a min of 16ms but for racing sims 18ms might be fine since there is no real fast screen updates needed like in a FPS or similar. "Paulinho" <senninha1@(sad).btinternet.com> wrote in message news:d700ks$cn6$[email hidden]...

My 9800pro supports 1360x768 but not 1366x768 and that is a TV not a computer monitor so it's not going to come with an .inf file to tell your vid card what resolutions to use. I would look to buying a 24" computer LCD if I was you. 32" is a bit big for near field viewing anyway.

Get the Viewsonic VX924 extreme 19" with a 4ms response time. "schooner" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:DELke.9416$9A2.7483@edtnps89...

But I wanted to go huge.. hence the 32"

I have the Hyundai L90D+ which has been just dandy for me. No blurring, inexpensive, DVI and Analog, tilt, hight and pivot (no pivot software though). Got it for $359 on Newegg... When I bought mine watching the price on this thing was like watching the stock market. You had to jump in and buy at the right time. This monitor was/is very popular and it's like their site slowly raises the price during periods of high purchase traffic. -Larry "tlgtr" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... >I tried one and it looked very pretty.

Be that as it may, LCD's have a FIXED resolution. If the card can't drive it at it's desired resolution interpolation will kick in and it looks nasty. -Larry "Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

SH3 is the perfect example of why I stick to a CRT. The devs decided 1024X768 was good enough for all. I cant imagine running a 16x12 native LCD at 1024X768. Does it even center at that res? Then again these are the same folks that gave us the nvidia particle bug and a deaf sonarman (think about that one) ;) Mitch "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Hmple.23801$jj.8126@lakeread06... > Be that as it may, LCD's have a FIXED resolution.

I hear there is some mod you can do that ups the res in SH3 but I use a CRT for gaming so I don't care, 1024x768 is my prefered res anyway. When I saw the 1.3 patch saying it was deleting these sound files at the end of the patch install I thought something strange was going on. Grrrr!

Yeah, I read that about Silent Hunter 3 and it bummed me out. I might still get it use a secondary display. As a former Navy Chief Sonar Tech I think I might get a kick out of this Game. Any good Mitch ? -Larry "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:yLple.1680$[email hidden]...

GeForce 6800GT. It might have them too, but to be honest I've never had the desire to spin er' so I haven't looked too hard. -Larry "Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Yea it is Larry. Not perfect by a long shot but playable now at something a bit less than 100% realism. The Sonar guy went deaf from 1.2 to 1.3 though and thats my single biggest gripe. Im mean really, what good is a deaf Sonar guy ;) Ive heard about a resolution hack. Subsim.com or the Silent Hunter general discussion forums should have all the info somewhere. You being a ex squid and all should really like get this one ;) I really enjoy it and if 1.4 fixes the sonar dude and the Nvidia particle bug we'll have something.
