LCD larger size -- what for ??
In article , Beladi Nasrallah wrote:
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 ? I use a 24" Acer X241W at 1920X1200 using a Nvidia 8800GTS 640mb and I will never look back!!!! Unreal 2004/Unreal 3 looks stunning. I uses it as a poor mans HDTV also . |
