Author Topic: Need opinion with new monitor  (Read 981 times)

I will barely have the monies to get this. My current monitor has: 5ms response time, 1440 by 900 (I just found this out), and 19". This new one is 2ms, 1680 x 1050, and 22". It will take about two months to regain this money if I do so. Is it worth it?


as this is not the same size or anything as my old one, I can not connect the two and act like its one big screen, but I think its good enough.

May as well get an identical monitor to the one you already have and go for dual monitors.

Save your money and wait until buying a monitor won't set you back.

Good spending habits will keep you from going broke.

My brother went to Staples and got instant rebates for his new monitor, I suggest you look around first.

This is the same cost as the old one, but its much nicer.

Is it worth it to get a crappier one? I wouldn't mind having two seporate screens. Most games don't do dual screen, right?

I don't know about you, but I would find having 2 different sized/styled monitors to be loving off-putting.

Most modern RTS games allow you to use dual monitors.

If they cost the same, sell your old one and buy the new one. Sell the old one a bit cheaper, so you don't have to remake that much money to pay it off.
