Hi there.
Thinking to buy a new LCD. Currently using an old 17' crt.
My budget is about rm600 only. Playing games n movie.
And i used 9800gtx GC in my SFF casing.

Any suggestions? Thanks a lot my fellow lowyattans.

if you run everthing at max setting, you'll get average 30-40fps only for latest game. so, when newer games are released in the future, probably within a year, you may have to get a better graphics card or just play the games at lower resolution, which looks crappy on lcd.

Looks like manufacturing defect... Try switching off the lights and recheck (in the dark), in case its a reflection problem...

Ouch...Then its better to get a 22" monitor?Any advice ar?Cant find any videos that ppl playing games at 24" monitor

About 24" monitor, which brand selling this monitor around rm1000? Dell still selling 24" for rm1200?
Havent check the news for quite some times

If you check at Dell's online store, they are selling their lower end 24" monitor (S2409W) for RM1089. I bought it from PC World for RM1040 and received it yesterday

However bear in mind that its Full HD and its native resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9). I use it mainly for PS3 so no qualms there. Also plugging it to my laptop.

As far as I know, this is the only 24" monitor that is around RM1000 (which is why I bought it hahaha). The closest is BenQ's newly released full hd monitor at about RM1100-RM1200 or so I heard.

BenQ also have 24" (G2400W) selling below RM1,000. but old model lar no bad also lar have HDMI. is 16:10 if no wrong

I'm running 4850 on 24" LCD 1920x1080. Sluggishness is noticeable at Very High setting. Somehow previously I can run smoothly on 19" LCD.
Hopefully my new 4870 will get rid of this sluggishness

Sorry for the noob question, but if you're a gamer, is 16:10 or 16:9 better? Is there a significant difference between the two?

16:9 is the normal TV widescreen resolution.
16:10 is the widescreen ratio for computer monitors.
There is hardly any difference between the two.
16:9 stretched to 16:10 (for those who are using their monitors as TVs too) isn't too bad.

Erm...sry but wat do u mean by sluggish?Laggy?U running full setting for crysis on 24" LCD?How was it?If its not that good enouf izzit still acceptable? Jus wish to noe how far can i go with my 4850 together with 24" lcd.

For game and movie mostly is using 16:9 which is 1920*1080, so is almost 1:1 mapping and compatible. But if for browsing and doing office work then 16:10 will better since you have another 220 pixel to view ur webpage or document.

what you expect after switching to 24" from 19" ? lol

PC? I think still 16:10 for now

most games are in 16:10~
and it is only 120 pixels, not 220

I have friends who still thinks that 5:4 is the best and refuses to upgrade to 16:10 because he says 5:4 is the best. And he went around asking for the any 5:4 larger than 19".

So, it's user preference, 16:10, 5:4 etc. as long as it rocks your boat, anything goes.

5:4? Or 4:3?

I'm thinking of getting one of those 16:9 LCD but my 4850GS will definitely not able to run them at the native resolution maxed out. Wonder if I can run half hd instead? 1280x720 or that will need to depend on games? If play those with 16:10 means err fatter screen display? or can set so that the screen doesn't stretch it but having the black gap on the sides?
