I am getting a new monitor and I plan to use it for gaming, WoW, BF2 etc. And I was just wondering, for being on a budget if the monitor is fine, I've read about ghosting and dead pixels and such and was just kind of worried about getting the wrong one. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...318#detailspecsThat's the link to it... But it's Hanns·G HW-191D 19-Inch Widescreen LCD Monitor. Response Time: 5 ms Pixel Pitch: 0.294 x 0.294 mm Display Colors: 16.2 million That's what I think is important, and I think that would be fine, just double checking. Another thing I was wondering about is that my Nvida Ntune says that I running off ddr memory when I have pc2-5300 ddr2 in it, and it says it runs at lower mhz than I was told it would run, it also says that about my video card, which is PCI-E XFXgeforce 8600 and that made me a little curious as well. Any help would be appreciated

I'm sorry to say I don't know beans about computers/files/programming/coding/all that stuff, well I kind of do, but I'm still figuring it all out. But I'm posting for two reasons: (1) I hate it when no one answers my posts for a while, it's irritating and I get impatient and (2) I wanted to say welcome to Trap17. Enjoy your time here!

Its looks like a good monitor to me. For its size however, a maximum of 1440 x 900 is slightly small, but still a decent resolution I think. You might want to make sure from someone else, I am a computer programmer, not a computer designer  .

Don't even think about buying that crap, unless you love being ripped off. There are many Samsungs (the best monitor company, in case you didn't know) readily available in that price range that will offer 2000:1 or even 3000:1 contrast ratio, which dwarfs that 700:1 you got there. And 5 ms response time? Try 2 ms for the Samsung. Try looking for the model I have right now, it's a Samsung SyncMaster 931BW, it's a 19 in. wide screen also, and I got it for $150...last year. I took a quick look at Newegg, and they didn't seem to have any of the models I'm looking for, but look around in the stores. I got mine at Best Buy, and Fry's Electronics have better deals as of now. So to finish off, I highly recommend against buying a big-name monitor.

Welcome... if your primary reason for upgrading a monitor is gaming, id suggest you'd go as low as you can on the "response time". 5ms should work fine but you can go lower. Also, you will need a graphics card that can support the monitor on its native resolution which means if your monitor runs best at 1024x768 and your only running your game at 800x600, then your going to lose some visual area. I was also reading something to do with grey-to-grey response time which has to do more with gaming than the plain simple response time... im not sure why that is and you might want to research it, but the only problem is - it is rarely listed with the monitor. Also, good job on going with Tigerdirect.. my favorite store (tigerdirect.ca) I googled some websites up, and this website seems to be helpful... http://www.d-silence.com/feature.php?id=249Good luck and keep fraggin

Thanks for the help and information guys, I just ordered it a day or so ago and hoping, being that Tiger ships outta Illi, it'll get here soon. Was going to go look around for a better deal, but then I'm an easy man to please, I have a 15ms monitor right now, and well it didn't really bother me till the option of getting a new one came up.

I recommend the BenQ FP71G 19" monitor, good quality, I don't use it now (I use laptop) but before that I used it for 3 years and turned out with no dead pixels

Well, its not a great resolution, in fact, you can get better resolutions from monitors made 5 years ago... However, most people dont use a higher resolution, but its always nice to know you can...

Worlds Fastest Computer Aka Roadrunner

second. Here is the kicker, hardware from the Playstation 3 system made this possible; includes
6,949 dual core AMD Opteron chips and 12,960 cell engines (heart of the PS3). As for cost I would

What's The Difference Between 64 And 32 Bit?

clueless when it comes to processors, and I'm concerned because I haven't really been paying
attention to processor specs as much as HD and RAM, even though those are the cheapest and easiest
to switch. Does anyone have any good tips about processors? I'm mainly wondering what the
difference between 64 bit and 32 bit is, but other than that I also want to know if so....

Is It The Power Supply?

I didn't notice that the power supply had a 20-pin connector with an extra 4-pin to go with the
20-pin one. So what I did without knowing the proper connection, I connected the 20-pin to the
240pin socket on the motherboard and the extra 4-pin to the 4-pin socket across from the
motherboard. The correct 4-pin was left hanging and wasn't used. So after all these things were
done and I connected the power cable to the PSU and switched it on, I heard some popping so....
