Widescreen dilemma · DIGIT-ARC

N

I wanna purchase a new 19" screen but i'm not able to figure out whether to get a normal screen or a widescreen monitor.i'm a casual gamer and tell me do games play well on a widescreen?should i go for widescreen or regular tft?
Also please suggest a model.my eyes r on viewsonic 1912wm.

go for widescreen trust me, it rocks and its mroe worth than a 4:3, go for the viewsonic ones they are great

N

Ok thanks.also tell me will i need additional patches to run games on widescreen?

Some games do need patch but most new games support widescreen resolutions.

u can play most games without patch.
i cant play CS1.6/DOTA at native resolutions 1440*900(max. for 19 inch TFT widescreen).the machine completely freezes within 30 mins

.
changing native resolution to 1024*768 solves the problem,though

.

dude better go for widescreen its resolution is 1440/900 and gaming quality for viewing is extra ordinary,i suggest for viewsonic LCD

N

ok i'm going for widescreen.i went to local shop and the guy suggested samsung 940n instead of viewsonic 1912wm.is it better in picture quality?

Whichever you buy, just see if it has DVI input or not. AFAIK, both 940N and VG1912wm doesnot have DVI (digital) input.

N

Ok then please suggest one

how much can you bear dude dvi monitors are very cost viewsonic VP2130b

Ultra-Slim Bezel LCD

costs 27000

i think for home purposes you can go for non DVI monitors

and the cheaper DVI monitor by viewsonic is :

ViewSonic VX2235WM 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5ms, 700:1, WSXGA+ 1680x1050, DVI, Black·Silver
costs 10,760

there is no VG1912wm

VA1912w - no DVI
VA1912wb - with DVI
VG1921wm - no DVI
VG1930wm - with DVI

VA1912wb - ask specifically for this, check while purchasing that the box pack contains DVI cable

Get the Viewsonic VX1932WM for 10.5k(Kolkata price).DVI+2ms response time.
Samsung - 940BW....5ms+DVI(difficult to find one though).
LG - 194WT .... 5ms+DVI

N

yes i'm getting vx1932wm but for 11.2k coz prices in north r more.will have it by saturday.thanks for the suggestion

LG 194wT has buttons on the which is a pain in a**...but the monitor looks elegent due to this.

My mistake, I was refering to VG1921wm

Go for widescreen rather than normal screen they really looks better.
go for any Viewsonic model as per yr requirement.

is a graphics card needed to use an LCD monitor. My current config is AMD 2.0 GHz 3200+ on a Gigabyte GA K8N51 GMF-9 mobo with 512 MB DDR400 RAM and onboard GPU nVidia GeForce 6100. M completely noob bout LCDs.Will this config run an LCD?

It will run fine.

Eh John. Thanx

go for widescreen its great . buy asus 19" lcd VW192 it gives cristal clear image which give you optimum satisfaction (a s per my personal experience)
