fivestars Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I have noticed that Dell has announced a 30" monitor, and some people just thinking about use it for gaming:http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?...283#post2827283Well personally I do think that too expensive for me, with that budget I can get a tv.

Tripredacus Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I remember when Gateway was selling their 50 inch monitor... I guess if you've got the desk for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmX.Memnoch Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Well personally I do think that too expensive for me, with that budget I can get a tv.A TV won't have the resolution of a monitor. Most LCD/Plasma HDTVs have a "VGA" resolution of 1360x768. That 30" monitor has a resolution of 2560x1600. It costs quite a bit more to produce a panel that size with that high of a resolution.Of course, I wouldn't pay $2000 for it either, but they do have the 24" 2408WFP for $600, which is well worth it considering all of the inputs it supports (it can also double as a 1080p HDTV).

suryad Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I have a 30 inch HP monitor and I would not use anything else after using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Note that while the 3008WFPs are around $2000 USD right now, the older generation 3007WFPs are around $1000 USD, and provide basically the same display (it isn't hardware scaling, nor does it have the extra ports/cardreader/kitchen sink the 3008 does). You can also find decent 28" displays for around $600 - $800 USD too, which may be a cheaper/better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I would like to add 2 things more:- A 30" Monitor needs the appropriate hardware to get the screen working on it’s native resolution, thus DUAL DVI is needed.- A LCD-TV does not have a 16:10 size ratio, it has 16:9 and some games will not have these display settings.

DL. Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 After reading this thread (and the links in it) I've gotten more interrested in having multiple smaller monitors rather than a large one. Maybe 3x24" or 3x27-28", or maybe a combination of 1x27-28"+2x24". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suryad Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Especially if you want to game at the native res...you need a powerful setup. I of course went a bit overboard but I am glad I did because the 9800 series dont got anything on my setup I still have yet to try Crysis on my system so I am looking forward to that. I just have 4 games waiting for me to finish them before I can play Crysis or anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
