If you haven't realised, i dont go cheap on my computer

after seeing the picture on the monitor...i know what you want that one

But from the specs they've provided..it looks good.
You need to find out if it's 5ms grey to grey or black to black.

either way with those specs it will be good for gaming, but the native res is a bit wierd for gaming...1440xsomething i forget

But it does look good...goto a shop and test it out before you buy it however.

Very funny Garhar

what is grey to grey and black to black?

the resolution is 1440x900 why is this wierd?

I cant test it out because o know nowhere in uk to test it and i was planning to buy online.


p.s. i have noticed you are not very cheap with your computer.

Heh.

Grey to Grey and black to black is how they messure the response times on LCDs

Black to black is where it goes from black, to white and to black again.
Grey to grey is where they messure it from grey...to white...you guessed it...to grey again.

Black to black is extended timings. This is the effect called "ghosting" if the response time is too slow, then it will leave "ghosts" of what you had on the screen moments before.

but 5ms grey to grey should be about 12ms black to black which is just fine for games

ok why is the resolution wierd?

I'm no expert at this stuff-- but it probably has to do with the 'aspect ratio' or width to height proportions. Resolutions on wide screen HDTV's tend to look 'odd' to someone used to 'standard' sizes on computers,etc. It's not square anymore.

The native res says 1440x700

It's wierd because games go to 1920x1200 and another widescreen of 1600x something (i forget atm ).

And it does take about a week to get used to the aspect ratio (normally 16:10) but once there...you'll look at a normal monitor and think "how did i ever use that?"
