[QUOTE="user 1447, post: 79966, member: 1447"] so why is there any confusion over this anymore ???? fact one - we know you want an LCD monitor fact two - any LCD monitor only works decently at its native resolution - this is the most important fact - so at 2560 x whatever those 1080p movies will look rubbish - but imagine 576p dvd's - those are going to look like avi's - and imagine what avi's are going to look like fact three - nowadays the most popular resolution for movies is 1920 x 1080 - gaming depends on your graphics card power put those facts together and basically it only makes sense to have a monitor with a higher res if you want to do specialized graphics work - for everything else a monitor with a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 will be perfectly adequate ..... if you still want the monitor with the higher res [u]under the circumstances you describe[/u] then you just have too much money or are plain greedy and if you do get it then remember to put aside around R6k to R7k for a decent enough graphics card to play games at the higher resolutions above 1920 x 1080 [/QUOTE]
