Hi friends,
I want to know which Monitor(15" or 17" only) will give resolution of 1152x864 or higher at 85hz. or 100 hz. so I can play games at these high resolution and of which company. My current monitor is samtron 15" and it works on 1152x864(highest) at 60hz. only so the game run very slowly and U know the flickering of screen. So tell me which companies monitor 15" or 17" will work tell mei'll be waiting for your reply bye.

Most 17 inch monitors give you that resolution at an acceptable refresh rate of 72-72hz. 60Hz is too low.

Though you will be better off with an LCD...

As I know....u can have variable resolution system only in CRT moniters.In case of TFT moniters,they have a fixed resolution for best perfomance.I always suggest for a flat CRT moniters.CRT moniters ahve only one problem,i.e,they are bulky.

What is the price? This has also the same max resolution as Sync master 798MB plus. So what's new if it is more expensive?

Just spend a bit more and get a 15" LCD... same viewing area as a 17" CRT and no refresh rate issues to worry about. Should be around 8 grand.
