Deathmineral Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 yeah lower quality video files that I have on the computer dont look the best blown up to full screen, however...I can have OCC open and snapped to the left side of the screen and my excel workbook open on the right side and get a pretty damn good size on both...(to be exact its 1280x1570 on both windows with the taskbar always on top) I'm sure that works well for some people but I think I'd rather have my three monitors instead.

gotdamojo06 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I'm sure that works well for some people but I think I'd rather have my three monitors instead. dont quite have the desk space for 3 monitors on my main rig though It i somewhat cramped with the 30" and the 26" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I hate that the standard for high end gaming monitors has been reduced to 1920x1080, I will hold onto my 1920x1200 as long as I can (until I'm rollin in dough and get can get a 2560x1600 30") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 I have seen larger monitors and eyefinity and i still perfer 1080 for my resolution of choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
medbor Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 A lot of people actually use less than their lcd-resolution, for example my mom uses 1024x768 on her 1280x1024 screen because she thinks it looks so small. Im still not sure if i liked the move from my 1600x1200 CRT to my FullHD LCD (regarding resolution and widescreen) for general useage, but i like the smaller physical footprint. I would definitely like to have larger resolutions instead of multiple screens, just to be able to read entire web pages and still have room over for other stuff. I hope (but i dont believe it to be likely) that screens move into 4M+ pixels soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krieg1337 Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Once we get single cards that have the performance of an HD 6990 in the $200-250 range resolutions and monitor sizes will increase. Right now it costs too much for the general public to be able to game with good quality and fps at high resolutions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I appreciate the extra space of 1920 x 1200, and will go 2560 x 1600 sometime soon, but it's a crazy ~$1,100 price. The mainstream gamers seem to have gone down to 1920 x 1080, and mainstream users as far as laptops go, are still at 1024 x 768. Do you guys think it will stay this way for quite a long time, or will we evolve to 3200 x 2000 within 2-3 years? I think we are stuck here for a while. People like cheap and the lesser well know resolutions are just that...Cheap. Even TVs in the retails store mostly have 720p and 1080 still mostly in 60hz marks as Standard Viewing.....there arent many 120hz or even less 240hz TVs out there. In reality when shopping for a TV most wont pay the premium for the better unit. So now it all boils down to what the market will handle and as of the last few years the market only wants the cheaper end of the line. It's really sad because the top end still carries and good price premium...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally it's not a feature that I'm interested in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you now know someone that does not. 3D has been rushed to market and does not offer any real benefit to consumers right now for the level of premium paid.

I watch blu ray DVDs on my living room TV @ 720p through my comp and the difference between blu ray 720p and std 480 is HUGE LG Supermulti DVD...best 30 or 40 bucks I ever spent!
