Widescreen dilemma

nish_higher · 27-09-2007, 07:11 AM

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.

entrana · 27-09-2007, 07:22 AM

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

nish_higher · 27-09-2007, 08:26 AM

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

john_the_ultimate · 27-09-2007, 10:43 AM

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

BULLZI · 27-09-2007, 12:27 PM

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

nish_higher · 27-09-2007, 01:40 PM

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?

john_the_ultimate · 27-09-2007, 03:58 PM

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

nish_higher · 27-09-2007, 04:03 PM

Ok then please suggest one

ax3 · 27-09-2007, 04:12 PM

bt isnt widescreen just a streched sideways of a normal screen ?

Batistabomb · 27-09-2007, 04:14 PM

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

sashijoseph · 27-09-2007, 07:08 PM

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

nish_higher · 27-09-2007, 07:34 PM

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

ashnik · 27-09-2007, 11:29 PM

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

shashank4u · 28-09-2007, 01:57 AM

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

pushkaraj · 29-09-2007, 10:58 AM

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?

john_the_ultimate · 30-09-2007, 02:34 AM

It will run fine.

pushkaraj · 30-09-2007, 10:10 AM

Eh John. Thanx
