Griffon26 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Hey Guys, EDIT: I meant Inch not Zoll sry im a usual german speaker :D i think about buying a new Screen for Gaming (DCS, Battlefield, Company of Heroes) But I dont know what I should get. When I fly DCS i usually sit 1.1 Metres away from my current 22" Screen because of the Joystick. Its like looking into a Shoebox :cry: What do you guys recommend? 27" with 1920 x 1080 pixels or 29" Widesceen? with 2560 x 1080 pixels Maybe you can give me some tips which brand I should get. Currently I thought about this ASUS 27": http://www.amazon.com/VS278Q-P-Ultrafast-27-Inch-LED-Lit-Monitor/dp/B009HNEBLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1436616463&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+vs+278+q Or is it better when I get a 29" screen? Many thanks, Griffon26 Edited July 11, 2015 by Griffon26 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.

ram0506 Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) If you need a bigger screen, then a 27" 1920x1080 solution will be better. A 29" Widescreen has a lower hight of the screen compared to the 27". Overall you will probably regard its screen as very small and the picture will not be much bigger than your 22" screen. I use a 34" widescreen (2560x1080). With 34" you have the same hight as a 27" 1920x1080 screen.

Griffon26 Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 At first thanks for you fast answers! :thumbup: Yea I know a bigger screen equals much more fun :joystick: I think I need to go to a electronics market to get a better feel for the size. Space isnt the problem it could be 2m width and 1,5m high. Only the price is the problem... :D With a new, bigger screen I will need to replace my gtx660sc with a much more powerful one... Thanks again guys I will look what I can afford :smilewink: Regards Griffon26 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Never parachute into an area you've just bombed You never have too much fuel, unless you burn.
Viersbovsky Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Just a heads up if you consider buying a TV-screen: TV screens have a lot of input-lag nowadays (100-300ms!). They are thus hardly useable for gaming, this caused me a lot of headache. PC-monitors are way more expensive for the same size, however they offer way smaller input lag. Callsign "Lion"

Many TV's have a PC mode or PC specific input, which eliminates any significant post processing lag.

Viersbovsky Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Many TV's have a PC mode or PC specific input, which eliminates any significant post processing lag. I only speak from my experience and doing 2 months of reserach to find the perfect TV. I have just bought a new TV for gaming. It was an ordeal I tell you, an ordeal. The lowest you get today is usually 3 frame lag in PC mode with Samsung Tvs. Sony Bravia have excellent input lag of less than 1 frame, but they are all bent in the middle (yes, all of them, had to return mine - the packaging is atrocious). High input lag is the norm these days, even in PC mode you get noticable delay. Manufacturers do not care about use for gaming or monitors anymore, it is all about making Blu-Ray delivered picures as pretty as possible. 3 Frame lag may not sound like much, but it is enough to make mouse-movement unresponsive, you constantly overshoot. I'm not attacking you, just want to warn of this fact. In the end, I have settled for a five year old Samsung TV that was developed before picture improvement was all the rage and has only 1 frame delay. Sadly, it is no longer produced and hard to find.

Griffon26 Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 I know that tvs arent always the best choice and that they could lag in performance. As mentioned above I play Battlefield and a short reaction time is a must for the new Screen. its not only for DCS. thanks for the replies!
