Oh I forgot to ask if this PSU is suitable for my specs: Hiper Type-R II 880W

Not familiar with it, but some quick reviews rate it as a good/decent PSU

Is there a way to get a 19" 2ms without widescreen, are the entire gaming monitors in ws now?

Tbh, I haven't checked - but I'm sure there are still some 5:4 monitors floating around.

Although, do you have any particular reason for not going WS?

Dampkring · 08 Aug 2010

Well, I guess I'm just ignorant

is WS really good? Seems to be the standard nowadays...
I play mostly strategy and FPS, would you recommend me a ViewSonic 19" WS then or would be, as you mentioned, a 1680×1050 VX2268wm better?

btw there are 19" 2ms ViewSonics... for example this one and this.
for gaming you need their gaming range that model name starts with VX.... they have 2ms.

I would be interested in the VX1932wm 2ms, but it seems that on ViewSonic Europe you can only have the VX1932wm-LED...

Well, I boggle between VX1932wm-LED and VX2268wm... 1440×900 or is 1680×1050 a better choice because of the GPU?

2268wm is 3D gaming monitor :)
and most things now are widescreen. i upgraded from old 17" 5:4 to 24" 16:9 and it's like night and day. so much more space... and all movies and latest games use full widescreen and everything without black bars is so much bigger.

you can read this VX2268wm review

here is Samsung 2233RZ and ViewSonic VX2268wm Input Lag Testing

Viewsonic VX1932wm review.

and higher resolution is of course better

though for that 3D thing you need nvidia's 3d vision hardware.

I'm happy my my new 24' has a 2ms response :)

Seven Eleven · 09 Aug 2010

found out more info about models

Model / Response Time / Panel
ViewSonic VX2268wm / 2ms G2G + 120Hz / 22"WS TN Film
ViewSonic VX1932wm / 2ms G2G / 19"WS TN Film
ViewSonic VX1932wm-LED / 5ms / 19"WS TN Film

looks like LED version has slower response time.

btw excellent site

Is there a big difference between 1440×900 and 1680×1050 concerning the amount of resources needed?
Not interested in 3D at all, don't wanna throw up

not much for modern cards. for example in some games i tried, no noticeable slowdown at 1920x1080 vs 1280x720 on my 5770.

mmmhK, think I'm gonna pick up the VX2268wm then, is it good also if you dont wanna use 3D?

don't know for sure, i got completely different model :)

btw cnet review

i recommend reading this before choosing any monitor. see for yourself how widescreen affects gaming.
FAQ - WSGFWiki

for example in GTAIV on new widescreen i see much more then on old 5:4. field of view is much better.

great info

I'm only afraid that some games could be stretched
