LCD Suggestions

[BaconTheory]

Well tonight I'm going to order a LCD off of Newegg. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to wind up getting the Hyundai B90A (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824179018) in the end. However, I just wanted to make sure that there were no other better options that I could get for the same price. I have a few concerns on the monitors, which I'm hoping that you guys can help me out with. Firstly, is there a noticeable difference between Analog and DVI? Secondly, will I have to adjust a lot of settings to get good image quality? Finally, and most importanty, the native resolutin for the monitor is 1280x1024. If I run my games at any less than that resoultion, will it look bad? Thanks.

Also forgot to add that I can't decide whether or not to get the L90D+ or the B90A. The L90D+ has DVI inputs in case I want to go DVI connections in the future, but its more expensive than the B90A. The B90A on the other hand, has the same specs as the L90D+, but it only has analog inputs, no speakers, and its hella cheaper. Help.

Games under the native resolution don't look horrible but you can notice a crispness that's there when they're under the native. Then again, this is my opinion and it could differ from person to person. All of this is based of my experience with my L90D+.

I didn't have to do any color adjustments with my monitor, I just plugged it in and away I went. I know Hyundai included some program to adjust color and such but I haven't found any need to use it and you can easily through the nvidia control panel. Everything to me looks great :D

I haven't seen an analog lcd so I can't tell you about difference in quality. I have noticed though that the vertical viewing angle on the L90D+ isn't exactly great. I can notice a bit of difference between top and bottom sometimes if I'm slouched over in my chair and it appears that the B90A is 15degrees less than it.

I would say I can notice a difference between native and non native resolutions. There is a sort of aliased effect, although antialiasing may remove that.

As for DVI vs Analog I can't comment really. I moved from a 14in CRT to a 17in LCD with analog input, which looks great to me as it is.
