Hey Lamron. You didn't stick around long enough for me to ask you how you liked your new monitor.
Is the picture clarity better or worse than you expected or hoped for?

I have my desktop set to 1920x1200 (the monitor's native resolution) and it looks unbelievably clear. Its wide enough to display two websites side-by-side. So I have lots of space for open windows. When I'm working on scripting a new mod, I usually have several windows open at once. That's why I always used two monitors before. This is what I got: www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx2835wm/I was playing with custom resolutions for MOH, because at 1920x1200 my poor old video card was struggling to do more than 25 FPS. The monitor comes with a list of resolutions it can accurately scale for, and as long as you use one of those it looks fine. I'm playing at 1280x720 and looks pretty good. When I get my tax return I'll be buying a new computer with a big fat video card that can handle it better. |

I held up my tape measure that I keep on my desk, and rolled it on out to a diagonal measurement of 28"...... w o w, that is big!
1280 x 720, Your new monitor must be a super wide screen.
Nice Monitor Lamron!

Never ask what kind of computer a person uses--if it's a Mac, he'll say; if not, why embarrass him?

Silly, maybe you should try what I did when I had that same problem and had to call Apple for help with my hardware and OS. Err, uh....wait a second... sorry, I was confused. I have never had that problem or needed to call my computer maker like that. Uh, sorry, again. |
