LCD larger size -- what for ??

More screen real estate. I wouldn't go any larger than 22" though
because then you run into issues with trying to run games at too high of
a native res and the games will perform poorly. 22" uses 1680x1050 and
my 8800GT video card can handle that res with most games fine. Any
higher res and I think it would really start to degrade performance.

Thats where you are mistaken.These class of video cards just start getting
their breaths at that resolution and quite happily perform at 1920x1200
and
higher. Maybe not if you get the 256mb versions but the 512/640/768
versions
fly.

I have much higher performance at 24" with my 880GTS 640mb at 1920x1200
than i
did at 1024x768 with same card on a 20inch CRT.


You go to the larger LCD creen size for the same reason that you get a
bigger TV, this is so that you can see better detail be it for gaming or
anything to do with graphics. Also for the bragging rights.

Agreed - my housemate just bought a 40" 1080p, and the picture is
stunning.

Now I just need him to get a Bluray player

I'm amazed you didn't start the old CRT vs LCD flamewar with this one.
Must be due... it's been weeks.

I wouldn't personally bother over 22" unless you are about to buy the
mother of all gfx cards, (currently SLI'd 768 GTX's or Ultra's I guess).
I have a Sammy 22" and can play Crysis at high settings at my native
rez of 1680x1050 except for the last level on the carrier where it all
goes to ****e (feck knows why - least impressive gfx in that part than
the rest of the game). I do this with a 512MB 8800GTS coupled with a
couple of gig of fast ram and a C2D E6600.

I used to have a 7900GT and would drop the rez to play most games like
Stalker, Bioshock or FEAR at their highest settings on this 22" and TBH
I never noticed the degradation of image this is 'supposed' to cause.

My daughter has a 19" widescreen and I really hate the cramped feeling
when playing on that now that I'm used to the 22".

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.


You use your penis for video editing?

Are you saying my old current Athlon system with Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 939
system with 2 GB of RAM, XP Pro. SP2 (IE6.0 SP2 and all updates), EVGA
GeForce 7950 GT KO (512 MB; PCIe), latest beta NVIDIA driver, etc. would
be have faster FPS higher than my native 1280x1024 screen resolution?
This is with everything cranked up like FSAA and anisotropic for games
like Crysis, World in Conflict, etc.

This isn't rocket science, what exactly are you hung up on?

* Ant:

Interesting. Thanks for the information. Do all LCD monitors come with
this non-stretching option?

Sadly, no. Some monitors do (usually the more expensive models), some
don't. Especially entry-level (means: cheaper) monitors lack the option
to display standard resolutions non-stretched.
