What's up guys. I am currently looking into upgrading my Dell XPS 700 system a bit (adding up to 4 gigs of ram and looking into either SLI or a new 8800 or 9800 Geforce card ((upgrading from nvidia 7900 512mb gtx) and I'm looking for a good monitor to really show what my system can do. I am currently using the generic dell 19" LCD flat panel display that runs 1280x1084 max. I have had no problems with it, but I go over to my buds house and am totally amazed at his 21" LCD Widescreen montitor and its 1600x1084(i think) resolution. It just seems to make all the difference with these new games such as Lord of the Rings Online, Crysis, and Age of Conan.
I'm not going to have alot of money left over after purchasing my new card, ram, etc., but after selling my old card and possibly selling the monitor (I could hook up 2 monitors but don't really have the room or the need) I should have some spending money left. I have no idea what a good price for a monitor like his would cost but I'd like to look into it. The widescreen aspect is a must I think and adds to the experience. His 21" is plently big enough, but I'm curious to exactly how much the 24" monitors or somewhere around here might cost.
A good monitor is something that will not be very quick in "becoming outdated" and I think it would be a good investment for me to make. If anyone would like to help me take the time to look for a monitor from such places as Newegg.com or even Ebay it would be most helpful (I wouldn't mind even purchasing a used monitor if I could get a good enough deal and insure it was treated well). Any info would be most helpful! Thanks!!!!
