Ditto, I have the same monitor and whilst it it quite costly compared to other low response time TN panels, its very good value for money.

IPS panels have better viewing angles also, if you dont go for a Dell, atleast opt for an IPS panel over a TN one.

IMO nowadays it is worth looking at 3D-stereoscopic compatible monitors already which are 120 or 240 Hz iirc. In 2-4 years it will be a must.

I've had this 30" LG W3000H for a couple of years now and still can't find anything wrong with it. If you have the money, I suggest you go 30". The 2560x1600 resolution really is something else. Makes anti-aliasing quite unnecessary. And zooming out to 120 degrees FOV also looks great and increases your SA +billion percent ;)

About spotting dots:
In old IL-2 the full resolution makes you blind, so I use 75% of the native (1920x1200), I can see everything further away than a squadmate with 24" screen.

In CloD the native resolution works good and I can spot the dots when they appear.

another Vote for the Dell,whatever size you want but i cant go back to a TN panel now,lovely colours and crisp displays.

I have a Samsung 3D Gaming LCD 2233RZ 22 inch 5ms 120 Hz LCD, and atm there's none better when it comes about (3D) gaming :)

I personally see no need to go beyond 24" screens or 1900x1200 resolution. That for me is plenty.

Thanks for all the replies guys. Now that I've started looking I'm spoiled for choice.

My CRT resolution is 1280x1024 and I run pretty much everything on COD on high with no dramas.

Now I'm worried about having a too high native res when stepping up to wide screen.

So you guys say that the IPS panels are the go? What about LG then? I found cheap LED backlit IPS panels with faster response times than the Dells.

I also remember losing quite a bit of the cockpit when borrowing the widescreen from work. You had to look down to see the lower half of the instrument panel. :(

Here's my CRT:

Bigger screen allows wider FOV to look good. Wider FOV -> higher SA. Also: higher res also makes AA unnecessary -> runs the same as lower res with AA.

In CloD you can hold down Ctrl + Mouse1 and then drag mouse forward/backwards to increase/decrease FOV.

Oh dear.
Whenever I see 'LG' I think 'Low Grade', based purely on my experiences with the brand. Be it monitors, car audio, DVD players and one time a microwave, LG in my experience is, well, bad.
:(

I think it depends...I've usually gotten slightly better benefits performance-wise from lower resolutions and AA than higher resolutions without. But it's really a moot point in my opinion.
