it's ridiculous, for the people who have 24"+ computer monitors on their
desks.

I have a 19" wide format LCD...and it's more than plenty large enough




Some of us men just have larger penises! Some of us like our 24" screens. Some
of us use them for video editing, and a 19" does not cut it.

I have an 19" LCD monitor with the resolution 1440 x 900, and I play
such games as Half-Life 2 DM, Team Fortress 2, Bioshock, FEAR, Dark
Messiah and Silent Hunter 4.

So far, I felt that the screen size (19") was al'right for the first-
person shooter (FPS) games, as I could hold all of the screen in the
periphery of my vision. Well, maybe I felt something slightly larger
(say, 20") could make game more exciting. The resolution seemed to be
al'right. I could not imagine going for a higher resolution (and yeah,
my graphics card was 7600GT).

But I heard many people said a larger screen (such as 24" or even
30") will make all the difference. I fail to see that. I presume a
19-20" screen is good for FPS, and a larger screen would be better for
simualtion or role-playing game (such as Civilization or Oblivion).
Maybe it was the kids' equivalent of a larger penis for a man.

I also wonder if a higher resolution (such as 1920 x 1200) will
improve _significantly_ the gameplaying experience. I used to play
HL2DM on a 17" widescreen 1680 x 1050. I think I can see the enemy at
the same distances.

So, here is my question: why should I go for a higher-resolution and
higher-size monitor ?
