Wanna buy a full HD LCD but...

Hi,

I want to buy an LCD, I m tired of my 15" CRT now. I have no problem in buying Full HD LCD's but I have a problem. If I buy that LCD, then I must purchase a good graphics card, I m a gamer, so a good graphics card is essential.

And I buy 19" W (Dell 1909W) then I think I dont require a high end GPU. Am i right?

Because for playing in high resolution, I need a high end GPU. And I dont want to buy a pricey GPU.

So what do u suggest. And is this Dell 1909W good?

There is no requirement to buy high end GPU if you are using full HD Monitor but you can only make use of full HD if your card support full HD.

In other words, normal card do fine with HD Monitor.

F

the dell model u mentioned is not of standard resolution and the monitor luks waste for me.

there was se198wfp model frm dell, which was gr8. they stopped it n now sellin this crap.

dont knw y all companies want to stop wellsellin gud models, n inject crap into market.

i dont prefer this model.

letz wait others' comment too. :idea:

If you want to game at FullHD, you do need a high end GPU.

Atleast HD4870 is required and along with it you need a better PSU.

Even for 1909W, you need a mid range GPU to play latest games. I have 198WFP and HD2600XT and some latest games won't run with full eye candy on.

My problem is, I dont want to buy a high end graphic card to play games, and if I just use a normal graphic card then I would not be able to play games. I know that I can play HD movies & all, but what about games. For playing game at high resolution I need a high end graphic card,

@fallin_a
U r correct, I too liked SE198WFP as it has good looks, but what can I do if they stop selling it. It has silver color in the front & looks awesome. Any other LCD u would recommend me?

what exactly do you mean by standard resolution???

FYI, 1909W is perfect replacement for 198WFP.

stand has Tilt, Swivel, Height Adjustable, Pivot
usb hub
looks lot lot better than 198WFP.

Yes you will require a high end GPU....The best i can see is the gtx260 core 216 for 12k from KMD...If you are not buying a new one, then u cant game, simple as that

^^WTH!!!

GTX260 core 16 for 12k. I just can't believe it. And what's KMD?

^^I think KMD is a name of a shop in Nehru place.

@desibond
Technically , does it have good specs according to u? I m talking abt 1909W. Whats the difference between 198WFP & 1909W? I think i have to google now, but just want your opinion.

On Dell's site there r two 1909w, one is Dell UltraSharp 1909W 19-inch Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor and another one is Dell E1909W 19" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor

So which were we talking abt here?

there is no difference at all in tech specs of these two.

1909WFP is 198wfp with black bezel, usb hub, height adjustable stand.

198WFP:

1000:1 contrast ratio
16:10 aspect ratio
1440x900 resolution
vga, dvi connectors
300 cd/m2 (typical) brightness
silver bezel

1909W:

1000:1 contrast ratio
16:10 aspect ratio
1440x900 resolution
vga, dvi connectors
300 cd/m2 (typical) brightness

If I have select between these two, I would select 1909W, thanks to USB+height adjustable stand and the new stand looks terrific!!

KMD is a guy,he is a member of techenclave forum ,any electronics/computer hardware can be bought frm newegg and amazon through him in US rates,he also gives warranty for the products.

^^Not very sure. But I think u know the prices very well & also good shops

How about 4850 GPU? It is more VFM I think so. Just my opinion. I think its 8k now.

I think its 8k now.

I heavily doubt that.

But if KMD is a guy, which shop should I go for to get these GPUs as inxplicably low prices?

Wait, wait, I'll reply u in 1 hour when I go home. Currently at office

Ok, I edited my previous post, u can get 4850 for around 8k approx.

But where do I get this KMD guy with GTX260 for 12k????

Techenclave forums or Erodov forums. That is where he usually posts his deals. Must say he is very prompt in sending out stuff. Got my Accelero S1 from him.

Hey all, I forgot to mention one thing. I am currently using external tv tuner card, ofcourse it has vga in, so what should I do? If I use vga for now, will it do??

Bump...

if your pc has DVI, you can connect it to DVI or 2233 or dell display and VGA of dell/samsung display

Note: Pick display that has DVI and VGA.

^^ So 1909W has both na? It has VGA also & DVI also.

So currently I will be using VGA port as it directly goes to my external tv tuner card & then another out from tv tuner goes to CPU. My tv tuner card doesn't have DVI out, Therefore even if I get LCD with DVI port, I will be using VGA port. Now u understand? Will my current external tv tuner card support this LCD? I mean i don't know this, therefore if someone experienced the same problem then pls write here.

Mostly I think if i'll use VGA port then it should work, but just confirming. By VGA port, I mean D-sub. I have 15" CRT now.

yes. that model has both DVI and VGA

what is the graphics card that you have?

I currently don't have any graphics card, but my mobo itself has a DVI out. So I can use it.

But I will not use it. Because I'll use vga which is coming out from my tv tuner card. I hope u understood.

And if i buy 9600 GT, then will I be able to play all latest games, if i buy a full HD lcd?

Dude go 4 xfx 9800 gt, and 4 lcd just have samsung 2233 model,it has the highest resolution and looks good in piano black finish with blue led..

with xfx 9800 gt u can play latest games like far cry 2 ,cod 5, nfs under cover at mid resolutions.. So don't hesitate anymore go 4 this combo..

Any more comments?
