Answer» What is the best size of the computer screen? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the graphic capabilities of the computer somewhat limit the size of the monitor, especial when gaming in higher resolutions?Not exactly, no. He can use whatever size display he wants. What is limited by the Video Card is the maximum possible resolution.I was told that it takes a better video card to run a larger display when running the same resolution. Are you saying it makes no difference between, say a 19 in and a 26 in display, both running the same resolution?They will both WORK, if that's your question.it makes no difference whatsoever as far as video card capabilities what monitor you use.... except perhaps DVI/D-SUB, but there are adapters. personally i think 22 or 24 is a bit to large so you have to move your eyes more but its just my opinion its complete personal choiceWell I have done a little research, and here is what I found. If you do not plan on gaming with this machine, you can get what ever size you want. However, if you do plan on gaming, the size of the monitor does matter. You may have to turn down the resolution on a bigger monitor to achieve acceptable frame rates. My sources are mostly other forums that came up on a google search. They were discussing running a larger monitor on their existing video card.I have a 22" monitor and it's fine. 1680x1050 resolution gaming on a 22" using a graphics card like 8400GT is not that great vs 1680x1050 resolution gaming on a 22" on a 9800GT. However, if you're watching a video though, I'd prefer bigger monitor so you don't have to squint your eye trying to watch on a smallish screen. the size of the monitor does NOT matter. unless you can QUOTE some reliable sources that say otherwise. The very SAME signal get's sent out regardless of what monitor is attached, so there is no vector for it to slow the operation down at all. I think the original poster's question is not whether larger monitors would affect signal quality, it's rather what SIZED monitor is big enough for viewing without having to strain your eye or feel that the the screen is a bit small so to say.It's a nebulous question at best and cannot be answered by ANYTHING other than personal preference... BTW BC is dead on on the hardware aspect of it... Unless he decides to go CGA. |
