The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

however, i've got two panels here: a 19" viewsonic va902 with 8ms and a 22" widescreen lg l227wt with 2ms. the 8ms response time of the viewsonic are completely unacceptable for gaming. when moving the mouse in a fps everything is soo blurred and fuzzy. you can hardly see any details while moving around. for me that's definately a nogo for gaming... a friend of mine has a 24" with 5 ms and even these 5ms look a lot worse than my l227wt with 2ms, else i'd have already swapped my 22" for a 24" display.
i really do think overdrive is doing a damn good job on these 22" 2ms panels. there's definately a huge difference between 2ms panels with good overdrive and ones with more response time.

Whoever believes this 2ms crapshoot response value he has absolutely no clue about LCD monitors, that's for sure.

[T2k]

Indeed, crysis has motion blure, tf2 has it, COD4... every game new game basically. Some more then others.

Yeah. When I just simply turn and everything blurs that sucks, let alone it has absolutely nothing to do with real world experience.

There are IPS panels suitable for gaming, however most are not. There was a 20" NEC that was a great gaming monitor(20WMGX2 iirc), but has been discontinued.

BUT MY CUONTAH STRIKE BELIVES SO!

because typin 1080p is easier than typing 1920x1200
I could type 1200p but not everyone knows that

Clearly everyone doesn't know that because no such thing exists.

The HDTV video mode 1080p assumes 16:9 aspect ratio, that's why the horizontal lines are not mentioned when HDTV resolution is presented.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p

1080p is the shorthand name for a category of HDTV video modes...The term usually assumes a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9, implying a horizontal resolution of 1920 pixels.

*Hugs his Benq FP241W*

[RaZz!]

I believe that's becoming a popular "feature" in modern games.

object based blur is a different story though

*Hugs his Benq FP241W*

woah, that thing is rated for 95w power consumption. pretty high for a tft.

I have it's big brother Benq FP241WZ and it's been perfect for all types of games thus far.

I'm happy to game on my 30" 3007WFP-HC, don't wanna go back to the 2407WFP.

I stand corrected then. I only go by what I've read from monitor reviews, so I was lead to believe that high response times and input lag made only TN matrixes acceptable for purposes where images change fast and not in a fluid way. At least, that's what XbitLabs and the Anandtech LCD thread say, as most of the monitors listed underneath the gaming section are TN matrixes. Correct me if you have read otherwise.

1440x1080 with 16/9 DAR is quite common, so assuming is not the best option here...

Don't forget the Dell 2209WA. A great and cheap 22" e-IPS monitor.

I got one, best screen i have used, its an 8bit panel with virtually no input lag, amazing screen for $200 bucks.

[orangekiwii]

I have a benq gw2400

works great for what i use it for... little to no ghosting depending on game

its 5ms but the input lag is around 15 for me so...

I thinks its mroe down to when the articles where written and the first "cheaper" panels where coming out there was big problems with ghosting etc... like say plasma with burn in and oled with degradation, over time its just matures and ends up not being noticable (thats what i put it down to) the techs just progressed

Unfortunately, Dell seem to have discontinued it. Reading the Dell forum, looks like the supplier couldn't get them enough panels or something. Otherwise 2 of those would make for great surround monitors.

i second that, great display. better colors than the non hc and a better foot than the next years types.

but i would love to see the 3007WFP-HC with led backlight.


ontopic

Im not sure the hd5850 or hd5870 1gb wil be sufficient to run the 30" with the quality turned to the max. seeing the review of the 4890 1 vs 2gb.

[Origin_Unknown]

so has this thread become a chat about what monitors we all have or?

[trulez]

1440x1080 with 16/9 DAR is quite common, so assuming is not the best option here...

Except it's the exact same thing, just with different PIXEL aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

http://www.hdtvmagazine.com/columns/..._camcorder.php

1440x1080 video is recorded using rectangular pixels with an aspect ratio of 1.33:1 ... 1.333333 x 1440 = 1920

[Sly Fox]

Nobody cares what monitors you guys have... Now about those ATI video cards.

[Utnorris]

What, this thread is about the cards?

You wouldn't believe it without reading the topic title first would you?
