Monitor help

[Haystack]

I got a fantastic Asus VH238 on Black Friday, for $149 bucks. Shipped free. It's only 23" but it's fine. Colors are just beautiful! Best monitor I have ever had! LED backlight, too! Last forever! Those flurescent tubes will burn out. Get an LED!

Oh, no disrepect intended at all, that monitor is lacking at that price. Ain't got the resolution you need for this sim. Grab a flat screen! You won't regret it! Get one that has 1920x1280 default rez! You will just love it!

1920x1280 is almost double of what I have now. I think that would be way to much for me. I just want a monitor that doesn't have lines going through it and won't affect my performance in RW.

Fear Before
Have a look at some of the DELL monitors especially if on special they usually get high marks in reviews and can be reasonably priced.
I use one of their IPS monitors and it is excellent.
I also have a Samsung Syncmaster 2233 which is a "true" 120Hz monitor (supports 3D) and again an excellent monitor.
If your video card has 1GB VRAM then you do probably need to choose a smaller monitor if its the 2GB model anything up to 25xx by 1440 should be fine.
Good Luck

I found me a monitor that wide at a thrift store, of course mine is that wide but also trice as tall.


Looks like a decent monitor though, doesn't matter really who makes the model because usually they all work about the same.


Mine is a AccuSync LCD 9V and it works perfectly.
