Jealous of my new 26" monitor?

What he meant is that increasing the size while keeping the same resolution lowers the pixel density, which is uncomfortable to him.

They do sell 1080p 20"-24" monitors... dell has a few good ones.

In my opinion anything over 15 inches (provided you less than ten feet away) is unnecessary. Sure it's cool to have most of your real-life FOV covered, but if your eyes are as sharp as mine you'll see a grid (well not a grid really) pattern on your screen. If you go big you'll need gratuitous resolution.

My monitor:
ViewSonic G70fmb
15 inches diagonal
Old-ass tech VGA Cable
Price: $15 USD used at local used PC store
1280 x 1024 (56 rows away from 1080 resolution) @ 60Hz
Performance: The box art of Unreal Anthology matches the installation screen in the black levels, brightness, saturation, and color, as well as sharpness (actually the monitor is sharper )

i disagree, i've had perfect 15:15 vision, mid-sighted (far sighted but can see perfectly at any distance near and far), for years, and while sometimes on occasion a grid is seen, its not much of a problem and in games gameplay is enhanced by the high definition and massive screen taking up your entire fov/pov.

I'm sitting back at least 4 feet away from my monitor and I can still see individual pixels most of the time (unless I'm screwed up) even when I'm fragging. That reminds me, I gotta my eyes checked I got some whack-ass vision.

Same here with my 15", but with a 24" you could sit 6 or 8 feet back is what I mean.

could you be any more shallow

The gaps between the screens annoy the hell out of me also the fps is about 10 below playable (playable 25+) level.

[Mr. Bougo]

in before "it says 115 fps", the 1 is repeated just like the rest :p

[Mizu Kitsune]

yes it is 115fps not 15 fps. but the gaps are kinda annoying, also that's just a pic i found randomly surfing the internet.

[Mr. Bougo]

It's not 115, as I said

Quake 3 running at 10240x3072 resolution at 15-30 FPS

Everything is displayed, there are no real "gaps". So there's no "1" hiding somewhere, it's just a piece of the "1" you see on the rightmost screen
