That extra 2 inches makes all the difference max… ask yer wife 🙂
Is the samsung HD ready? I dont think so!
I did a lot of research specing up my new computer – the latest cards just aint worht it… check out fram rate comparisons and see how many FPS you get for your extra 200 quid!
The early adaptors always get screwed – just behind the cutting edge is where you want to be 😀
Well i just got my dell 24 inch today – fecking beautiful. Downloaded a few high def trailers from windows media player site – tasty!

Another HOF against that gerglaes muppet 🙂
Ok Phart – that has convinced me! Should have it by tomorrow!
I was a bit aprehensive on readiong some older reviews – but the latest revision (AO3) seems to be the dogs bollox and has ironed out any problems – getting it for 538 inc VAT and delivery http://www.pcbuyit.co.uk/contents.asp?

Hey doc,
For some reason, clicking on that link you gave goes to a higher price than advertised – which overclockers is cheaper than.
… innit
ive got the overlclockers is currently cheaper bit on brackets below you loon!
Listen – this is important.
If some1 can tell me that that beast of a 24 inch will play modern games at a good fps without ghosting I would buy it!
Im dubious though – a lot of what I have read on the subject casts aspersions on just about all the current 22″monitors for gaming… its unlikely the 24″ would do any better. The so called improvements in latency being due to overdrive modules that fuck up the image quality… not to mention the very narrow viewing angles that plague them.
Is that wrong??
Lol at the projector – 1300 quid? I aint made of money!
Is it actually practicle to use a projector as their only monitor? I dont know how you could set it up TBH.
POD – dont you get some ghosting playing games on the 24″dell? Its native resolution is a bit much for most modern games as well I would have thought.
