1128044 2010-08-15 23:27:00 Hi All

Looking at getting a new monitor to take advantage of my new graphics.

30" ish
Does anyone have any recommendations as to which one to get?

Price is a consideration but not hugely so at this point.

1128046 2010-08-15 23:45:00 Sounds good for what you need, but its not eyestrain I am worried about its screen real-estate, i need nice high native resolution. DeSade (984)
1128047 2010-08-15 23:56:00 So, whats the limit?? You could probably get a 32 inch LCD TV, (with freeview) for about $699+. Probably be better if you brought one with HDMI on it (thats if the vidcard has HDMI on it) Speedy Gonzales (78)
1128048 2010-08-15 23:58:00 Yeah the 480 has HDMI and I prefer to use that of course, not sure if a TV based monitor is the right way to go but I really don't know much about them.

Price wise I would rather not spend more than 2k.

1128049 2010-08-16 00:05:00 The cost wont be anything near 2k. Nothing wrong with getting an LCD TV with more than 1 HDMI connection. That way you can connect the computer, and switch between the 2 (or more). You could get a Sony 40 inch for $1400 at DSE (with 4 HDMI inputs). Or if thats too big, a 32 inch Sony for $890 (with 4 HDMI on it). Both have freeview Speedy Gonzales (78)
1128050 2010-08-16 00:08:00 But what is their native resolution for computer work?
I needs to look at least as good as what I have now
Fast response time, high contrast ratio etc etc.

1128051 2010-08-16 00:11:00 In my opinion once you are getting to 30" or above, a resolution of 1920*1080 is not good enough. The pixels are getting too large. Reasonably good 30" monitors have resolutions of 2560*1600 or better. AvonBill (11358)
1128052 2010-08-16 00:13:00 1080P, which is full HD Speedy Gonzales (78)
1128053 2010-08-16 00:19:00 As I said....Samsung LED LCD\TV 1920x1080 200hz refresh!, thats 3d speed, and has HDMI however!, 3d doesnt work over HDMI...anyway, super slim at $1050 is a bargain, but as stated at that size you may want the extra real estate, BUT you will pay for it! SolMiester (139)
