I had an old 4:3 19" for a few years & finally upgraded, but I'm thinking this new one might be too much. What do you guys use, & how big do you think is too big for gaming if you're using it at a desk?
While we're at it, are there any games that have dual monitor support? |

720p is all though. Thats only 1280x720.
I'm quite happy with my 17" crt capable of 1280x1024 at 75hz (1600x1200 at 60, but thats not useable). I hate the crappy colour you get on lcds... and its much easier to see the pixels, which means you really need a higher resolution to get the same effect for games/movies). Might upgrade to a plasma or one of those lazer tvs/moniters at some stage though. As much as its really hard to lift, I'll stick by it's better colour/smooth tranisition of pixels/solidness. |

My 17" widescreen laptop does 1920x1200 at native resolution.
I'm so used to the real eastate on the screen that when I get a desktop I won't be able to get anything smaller than a 24" due to needing 1920x1200. It's bloody fantastic for production too.
Anything over 24" is just not cost effective though.
Would be nice to run a 30" Dell monitor at an insane res but that would cost tens of thousands of dollars to setup the whole system. |

24" is probably the biggest you want to go.
I have a 24" Viewsonic native at 1920x1200 and a Samsung Syncmaster at 20" 1680x1050
WiC has dual screen and same with Supreme Commander.
Tried both, its probably not the dual screening your thinking of though. |
