No need to double post. Your post in the imaging and imaging devices section is sufficient.

It looks good. Bigger than dell and cheaper. It should be fine for gaming. The only problem is the low resolution for such a big thing. AA and AF should help.

the resolution sucks. the 12ms is good for gaming. I just recently bought a dell 24" 1900x1200, and at that resolution the games look much better, but with my video cards which is a ati 9000 series does not handle games well, and that's beacuse the video card is not that great..... once i upgrade it's going to be Sweet ! :attn:

:welcome:

for $800 you can get a 24in 2405FPW on sale which ill be far superior for gaming do to the better resolution. LCD TVs tend to have horrible resolution, which doesnt matter when your watching TV from 10 feet away but is highly noticable when your sitting 1 foot away playing games.


I would reccomend instead just picking up a 2405FPW and a cheap TV tuner, The 2405 has compenent, svideo and VGA in so you can play consoles if you want and a TV tuner can be had for really cheap if you look around.

I would highly reccomend agianst an LCD TV like that. That 26in and 27 screens run at a lower resolution than a standard 17in LCD. Spend the money and get a nice dell 2405 FPW and TV tuner as if you get it on sale it will cost you about the same
