Thinking about it, CGA wasn't (always) smaller than VGA either, the pixels were just huge (and the colours very grotty).

Samsung have a 24" - 2ms - LED - narrow bezel - low power monitor.

BX 2450, I think?

I've recommended the monitor I own before: the Asus VW266H. It's fairly cheap and can display any resolution up to 1920x1200 without distortion or blurriness.

In the spirit of 'bigger is better' I popped about £300 on a Hanns.G 27.5" monitor which has a resolution of 1920x1200.
My HD5870 runs it fine, maxed out, and it is adjustable via the monitor software, either by presets or manual adjustment. It replaces the 24" that I was using, now being used my wife.

It's cheap and big and came without any dead pixels, and it shows off IL-2 very nicely. I hope it lasts

I had the super cheap and wuite good 28" Hanns for a weekend too before returning it to the shop and buying a used Dell 30incher.Its worth considering that whatever you buy ,at least for IL2 ,if you dont play at 1024x768 you will find it harder to see enemy dots...

It's so long since I ran 1024x768 that I can't even remember what it looks like. I ran 1280x960 on my 19" Iiyama when I got my Ati x850 and only moved to a flat screen about eighteen months ago. I can't imagine running 1024x768 on a monitor with a 1900x1200 natural resolution. I've not noticed any trouble spotting aircraft a long way out.

I currently use this 25.5" monitor. For IL2 I use 1680 X 1050.
