| 592677 | 2007-09-20 04:57:00 | WS nasty to game on.....LOL, have you used 1?. In fact, all games written over the last 2 yrs have either native WS built-in or there is a patch to resolve the matter. WS rock when it comes to FPS's as you get to see more of the playing map! Man these forums get opinionated sometimes. The guy asked for advise, not opinion! Jeez So, the reason why 24 alot more then 22, is because ALL 22' screen use the TN panel, which isnt true 8bit colour, whereas 24 and above are!, and are usually the better quality IPS panels. |

| 592678 | 2007-09-20 05:36:00 | Just to clear a few things up, i am clearly not a hard core gamer but will play the occasional game on the new monitor. Will definetly be going widescreen as its pretty much the only option above 19" and the prices are considerably cheaper than 4:3 versions. Thanks for the comments |

| 592679 | 2007-09-20 09:04:00 | I was in PB Tech in Penrose today and saw a 22in for I think $399 +gst. Maybe worth a look. | gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 592680 | 2007-09-20 22:13:00 | If you're not doing any serious photo work or work that requires good colour reproduction, a 22" screen will be fine. Check some reviews first though. The Samsung & Viewsonics seem to be popular choices in the 22" range. If you do need good colour, then get a 20" or 24" with a PVA or IPS panel in it - better viewing angles & colour reproduction. |

| 592681 | 2007-09-21 00:17:00 | An advisory we got early this month said that that the 4:3 format monitors are not long for this world - global production is all switching over to 16:10 WS in the near future & 4:3 monitors are going to become rarer & more expensive than widescreen. | MushHead (10626) | ||
