764920 2009-04-15 01:40:00 What would I expect to pay for a new LCD monitor? convair (13650)
764921 2009-04-15 02:06:00 I reckon migrating to a 19" or a 20" would be good for you.

Warehouse has a got a nice 19" philips(full HD) for around 250.

Or you could grab something like this:
qmb.co.nz

Both would be find IMO

764922 2009-04-15 02:08:00 +1 for those LG 18.5" screens. Very nice.

I bought a full HD LG 22" a few weeks back, I am still drooling a little.

Would having a new monitor improve the performance within flight simulator?

764924 2009-04-15 03:10:00 Kinda in a way, if your graphics card supports it you can run the game at a higher resolution which will mean slightly better quality overall.

If your card and game supports it...you could game with Full HD:D

Anyways, what graphics card to you have Jimm?

Is it the ATI 3650 above?

If so, you could get a 22" Full HD monitor if you wanted...Speedy is running his on a slightly slower 3450 so it should be fine

Full HD 1920x1080 is NOT suitable for a 19"LCD, the pitch is far too small.

The base resolution for 19"is 1440x900 then, 1650,1080, besides which 16:10 is a better resolution for PC LCD than 16:9 1920x1080, which is solely a movie resolution....

764927 2009-04-15 03:22:00 Yup, I dont have any games installed tho .

So, dont know how good games are on this monitor, (the monitor should be ok, since its 2 -5 ms or something) with this videocard .

I'm only using it for the internet / other things . Since the Xbox is connected to the HDMI connection .

Once I get around to buying an HD tuner, I'll see how good the pic is .
