They'll ship me a monitor for less then ten bucks! :applaud: I'll take a b-grade refurb for that price fo sho. This project just got a lot cheaper. I was prepared for the screen to be the most expensive component! --- End quote --- Just remember to put in the Coupon code "Dealnews" -- right now it gets you half off the already 30% off on monitors and systems so worth the effort to type in !!!! They have an IPS panel 20" Dell 2001FP that's a 4:3 20" monitor for $58 - $29 with the code + $9 shipping makes it about $40 for a good IPS panel flatscreen with 178 degree viewing angles and great picture quality. |

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to nab an adapter since my motherboard only has vga, but that's cheap enough to pick up. edit: never mind, reread the spec sheet and saw it does have vga input. I'm good to go. ;D |

Don't buy one of those crappy old 4:3 LCDs. Just get the new 27" G-Sync monitor that's coming out THIS WEEK. Do you REALLY want to play every game at the wrong speed or with stuttering? G-Sync is the only acceptable LCD solution right now. |

Oh, and there's nothing wrong with a 4:3. I'd do a 19" or 20.1" all day long over a widescreen. |

Measure a 19" 4:3 compared to a 24" wide screen.. they are nearly identical for playable size in any mame game. Is the asus ROG g-sync coming out finally? Great idea but aside from FPS games, not going to make a single bit of difference, lol. I was going to go with it, and if it had come out 4 months ago I would already have it for my main gaming PC.. but priorities change, and they missed out on one sale (and I imagine a few others who had time to second guess a $700 27" monitor).. |
