Global Conflict

so im after a dual monitor set up. but with all the monitors out there i cant make my mind up. so any advice from the gurus?

what setups are you guys running? would you change for something different? bigger smaller? just want some info on whats out there really. ive got my eye on one of these http://www.ebuyer.com/318471-asus-vg278 ... tAodRgQA1Q
anyone else out there got one, played on one?

im currently on one of these http://www.overclock.co.uk/product/HP-L ... 20462.html

Take a look at AOC's 57 series. Really thing bezel, great for multiple monitors. Link to their own website: http://www.aocmonitorap.com/v2/minisite/57_17_27/

Link to the 23" monitor: http://www.aocmonitorap.com/v2/hk_en/pr ... php?id=205


Btw, gaming with 2 monitors sucks. The crosshair will be in the middle of the screen edges.

sorry i didnt say, i dont want it for dual screen gaming i just want a second monitor. so the HP i have at the moment will be the second and the new one will be my gaming one. looking or low input lag too.

Not an expert but got this one myself

love it so far can switch easily between my ps3 and pc if i want.

Is BF3 in 3D any good? I really haven't heard anything about it until now.

i couldnt tell you either havent played anything in 3d. id have the 3d more for films than games i think if i went with that option.

Full HD 27" isn't what I'd pick. I find the ppi too low. I haven't heard much good about 3D either, as it is very expensive, GPU intensive and causes a headache for some people. The 3D effect is nice for a while, but the effect wears off and then you've just wasted your money.

Dell displays are the very good ones if you ask me. If you want a very good 27" display, I'd say you have to go for the Dell Ultrasharp U2713HM. It's about the same price as that Asus, but hasn't got 3D or the 2ms reaction time. It isn't very gaming-aimed. But the resolution is way bigger, creating a much sharper image and because the panel is IPS, colours are a lot better. Good for graphical editing or movies. My Dell display, an S2409W, has an input lag of 5ms, which I can live with. Comparing my display to others at LAN parties, I would have the best colour range. Check out their website for any monitor sales, as they are more expensive than the average display.

TL;DR Drop the 3D and get a higher resolution panel is my advice.

Agreed. I bought a 27 full HD Samsung and sent it back because pixels were just too big, I am back on 24" 16:10.

A factor I havent seen much discussion about is 120Hz vs 60Hz. Alot of really good players seemed to be getting 120Hz and pushing 120FPS. I cannot advise as I'm at 60Hz with with 60FPS.
Also the higher the rez, the less FPS you'll get out of your video card.

I have a BenQ XL2410T 23,6" 120Hz gaming monitor. It is awesome.
I suggest you get 120hz monitor. Somehow it does not even stress your eyes so much.
