Ok, I'm going to buy myself a nice present: a LCD screen :).
But I don't know what I should get. Its gonna cost me arround 300 euro's (388.089 USD). I got a few optionse:
1 Samsung BF940 19" 2ms (ms, milliseconds, is reaction time black-white-black, well in this case the less the better, above 8 you get ghosting, below that you won't get it)
2 Some 20" 5/6 ms 'big'screen
3 A 19" widescreen
4 A 20" widescreen
I don't know if I should get a widescreen or a normal one. Why? well quite simple, I never had a widescreen! So I'm thinking that maby the widescreen fucks the whole thing up (you know, stratching faces so that they fit in the screen).
So is this the case with a widescreen? Anyone got one? Can anyone tell me what its like to have one.
Other thing: I want to know whether it is smarter to get a 19" with 2ms, or a 20" with 5-6 ms. I know that below 8 ms you got no 'ghosting'. And I really don't want any ghosting. But I don't know if a bigger screen needs like less ms to avoid ghosting.
Any idea's ??
p.s. oops this should be in the help section lol, moving it

I would go with a 19" they are big enough. Mine is the viewsonic vx924 2ms black to white and 1ms gray to gray. I love it games look so damn awesome on it.
4:3 "normal" is most likely your best bet. A wide screen is good for dvd and some games. In order to get the full best look and benefit on a wide screen. You have to run it at a crazy resolution and sometimes it will conflict with games or some software.
And can make text hard to read, but on movies you cant beat a wide screen.
And yes I own both, my laptop has the 15.4 wide screen.

I've got mine running on a 15" samsung LCD, A 15" crt for remote desktop usage on my network, and a 20" Flat Screen TV so I can watch my movies and play some games on my TV. I'm happy with it.
The 19" widescreen should fit well with your system. To run games at crazy resolutions settings you will have to edit the .con files for the specific game but there are resources all over the place (i.e. Google) to inform you on how to do it.

i got a 23" thats is the shit man, the great pixes are amazing !
-
i got a 19" lcd and it's great
-
I just saw a Viewsonic 2025 20 inch widescreen...5 ms amazing, no ghosting...I am going to get the 22 inch version as my eyes are old and for shit but the widescreen Viewsonic is the best I have seen so far...I have seen the one Bone is speaking about as well and the 2ms kick the crap out of everything else.....Not widescreen though...
-
ya the problem is I am going to watch movies on it, but I prefer a good game screen. I thought that you could get a wider vision with a widescreen. But I don't know lol.. keep making replys please, and thanks for the onces so far :)

Just remember it takes a lot of horsepower to run at the really high refresh rates in games to keep them looking good and not stretched out.
Remember wide screens where really meant for images and video. If you have the graphics power to push the high refresh rates needed then go for it. Otherwise get the reg just to be safe.

Heres mines, 22" wide screen, $340.00 US, BenQ At NewEgg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824014131) I would think you can find it where you live.

Hmm, in 2 days there will be a 19" TFT 5ms with DVI-D and VGA, 1000:1 contrast, and 300 cd/m2. It costs 200 euro's (a 19" 2ms samsung with 700:1 contrast, costs 300 euro's). So if I get that one, I will save 100 euro's, and I could use that for other stuff (e.g. a new videocard, processor). What do you guys think? Should I save 100$ and get a 5ms screen instead, or cough up the extra 100$ and buy a 2ms screen?
-
i would keep the 100 euro
-
You wont be able to tell much between 5ms and 2ms. Unless that is just gray to gray.

Nah I think it is black-white-black. And ya your right, the human eye can't really tell the difference. But thanks for mentioning the grey-grey thing. I'll defenitally whiche one it is. 5ms grey-grey is like 12ms black-black, and I don't want that lol
-
Just keep in mind that anything below 8ms on, off times will not show ghosting.

I have a 72'' widescreen, the biggest on the market and it rocks obviously. But lets stay within your budget. Hmmm. I say the 20'' widescreen. The widescreen is excellent for playing video games on so online gaming on them is awesome.

Holy dear mother fucking christ... either you are lying through your ass, stole it, or have some very generous parents.

rofl, agreed. last year my parents gave me a nice gift. a 50" plasma, its ok and pretty big, i cant imagin how heavy a fucking 72" would be considering mine was like 250lbs. i almost broke the damn thing trying to put it up one the wall haha.

-
Cool, good deal boemann, hope you get many good years out of it :)
Ban bobbyknight? well I could but I would rather, bast in the knowledge that he has to give his daddy "Special time" to get nice things.

My resolution is perfect for a lot of things, its too big for this site's skin tho, but that doesn't matter.
I played Far Cry with it today (everything at low and 1024x768, because of the crappy videocard), and I'm totally amazed by this screen. You don't even know that your looking at a screen, kinda weird to explain, but its very cool :)

oke :D
