What LCD/Monitor is everybody using?

[Kuky]

I'm using Samsung 2493HM 24" LCD and I'm satisfied with it. It has its downsides like very stupid design for touch button for setup which you really can't see unless you have good light on them and there is a very little of backlight bleed (I think all non realy expensive large size LCD's have it), although its very even on the screen and I can hardly see it (I can see it only with completely black background). Other than that I'm very happy with it. Black Shark runs good with single HD4870 even with high amount of AA and AF (tried it last night as I run 2x HD4870 in Crossfire normally)

Just ordered a Dell 3007WFP-HC.

46" Samsung LCD HDTV. Connected to computer with HDMI cable. But almost all the time I just use my 21" CRT Monitor as the 46" is a bit much..

LCD 24" SAMSUNG SM 245B+

 

I heard 4870X2 and similar "crossfire in one" products might cause some microstutter issues! So choose carefully between 4870X2 and a pair of 4870! Later option might be a better solution!

I bought a 3007WFP-HC.

 

Supposedly, it is superior to the 3008 model with regards to input lag and whatnot (according to the folks over at [H]). We'll see. I can't wait for it to show up. I think I might pick up dual GTX 280's from EVGA and then trade them up for 285's in a few months.

Please don't follow the 'marketing hype'...

When you running a refresh rate of 60Hz (60 new actualisations of the output in a sec) you would only need 20m/s -under that number you wouldn't be able to notice a change...

 

EDIT(found my calculator): 1sec/60hz= 0,016sec per frame

 

-so if you use a monitor with 60hz,and 3 m/s (3m/s=0,003 sec)refreshment and you running application with steady 60frames (every 0,016666.. sec a new frame)- the monitor have to wait every 0,013 sec each new frame for new data -

... to notice a difference - and mostly only when from total Black to a white - it would appear for 6 m/s as Gray...so you would need a refresh rate of 120Hz (!) to benefit from the frame refreshment of your next Monitor...

 

After said that- we all running a simulation where we are happy to have steady 30 frames (The barrier that a normal human being can track) .

So you will only pay for a number on the package without ever benefit from it... (because you never would be able [even Chuck Norris or Steve Austin -but maybe Auto-Man;)] wouldn't notice the difference between 15m/s or 3m/s -only insects are able to split a sec in 120 individual images...that's why a fly is able to escape before you even notice yourself that you want to move your arm to hit the Fly..).

For simulations, a response time of >5m/s is probably not as noticable. In a first-person shooter, anything over 5m/s is isntantly noticable for me. I can't even play an FPS with a higher response time than that.

I'm on a 20.1" 16:10 Wide format LG L204WT @ 1680x1050 and it's actually quite good.

I've got it on an Ergotron Neo-Flex adjustable monitor stand because of the crappy standard one that came with it.

[Feuerfalke]

HP LP2475w here.

 

Not really the best for playing as it's somewhat slow, but it uses LCD-technology and homogen backlighting over the complete screen. It's man advantage is the very wide angle of view, though, that doesn't lose image quality as most other flatscreens do.

 

A note on reaction times:

 

What was a clear indicator a few years ago is not really comparable today. When TFTs were introduced, the guideline for measuring reaction time was the time from 95% white to 95% blach to 95% white. When companies realized more players were looking for the "ms"-info in their datasheets, they began to rig them, as there was no unified testbasis.

Now some companies (like Samsung) use 75% values for most gaming monitors, some reviews state that the manufacturers chose even less. In other words: The time is only measured from a 75% black to a 75% white and back, which of course does not represent data usable for judging ingame bluring and shadows.

Samsung SM2443BW 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor:thumbup:

Hey All. New to the forum but a long time hardcore sim fan (and former US Army Reserves Aviator - UH 60 and UH-1).

 

I recently got back into the fray when I came across DCS: BS and invested in triple Acer 233H 23" WS monitors with a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital box. The monitors were $180 each and do the job quite well. I'm hooked again!

[wasserfall]

This is the brand new Imac!!!, with 26 inch LED screen!!

 

You can install Windows via bootcamp and play LOFC and do other things in OSX

[Flyby]

I can recommend the Asus VK246H (HDMI) it's 1900x1080 resolution, with 2ms response time. I got it from Newegg for $219.00. It also has a built-in web cam (I'm watching you guys!:smartass:) It received excellent owner reviews which helped me make my decision. No dead pixels, good color for a TN, bright as Hell.

I'm using a BenQ 22'' G2200WT. Gives a resolution of 1680x1050 at 60Hz, and I would not recommend it. It doesn't give a clean picture but rather will have bright objects bleed to the right.

 

Thinking about getting myself a 32'' LG TV and use that though, but with a fulltower on the relatively tiny desk that would require a new desk as well... :P
