Oh man I went and done it.

I finally ordered me a new monitor. My old ViewSonic P815 is getting replaced. The good news is the new one is awesome,
the bad news is it kinda put dent in my wallet. So which one did Bush get heh, I went with the Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP Wide-Screen.
Cant wait to hook this bad boy up and start rockin on the games.

Awesome! I see more and more folks go for the widescreen.

You already know I went the dual-lcd route instead.

[Bushwacker]

Yeah I remember you talking about that. It was two 19" mon's right. 38 inch's of blis hoot... I thought about doing the same thing, but I dont care for the split in the middle. I have the same setup at work and it works great for working with apps but when I play a game like UT or COD it bothers me. It would of probably cost me less if I went the other way but I just couldnt do it.

I did it for NWN 2 (using the toolset to build maps). I usually stick to one screen when I'm gaming and leave chat windows up on the other.

[Bushwacker]

ah ha... good idea.

[Almuric]

I'm about to the point that I want games to start coming in "windowed" mode by default. I'm going to try and convert all my current games to run in a window since I have the processing and video muscle to do that now.

[Bushwacker]

Sounds nice, except that would take away some screen realestate. I can’t be having that. At least not in a FPS game unless the gfx are horrid, then I wouldnt care. Or playing some older games like Quake III: Unreal Tourament: or something like that.

[Almuric]

Yeah of course! The newer FPS games are widescreen "aware" and give you more peripheral vision of the enemy (this actually sounds unfair to those who cant afford a widescreen ).

[Bushwacker]

oh man I get to pick it up in the morning

[Almuric]

I was about to ask if it had come in yet.
