Re: We're all Westerners

Also i would like to mention that all this american "wealth" is kind of a hoax.. we are basically suffering from the result now.
Many people seem to have a house and that 26" LCD.. you 400$ chair.. even if they did not have the money to pay it. Lets have everyone build a house even if they will never be able to pay it hoooray.... long live the american dream.

the biggest thing available would probably be the 30" monitors. i think there are some larger then 30" but 30" monitors have the largest resolution. something like 2560x1600. i want a 30" monitor sad but i know if i buy one, im gonna have to upgrade my gpu like twice a year.

well, its more the idiots in washington forcing the banks to give people the money to buy houses that have no place buying houses which created an artificial climb of house prices. i wouldnt really blame it on the large lcd's or comfortable furniture we have.

Re: We're all Westerners

i dont blame it on the furniture.. sure its you goverments fault.
its a general problem.. now its housing... soon same will happen or allready is happening with credit cards.


i have a dell 30" in my office btw and i personally like 24" or 26" more.. 30" really is allready to big as long you are not several meters away from it.

Re: We're all Westerners

its wierd but true that if you havea  bigger monitor and play a FPS you have a wider field of sight.

Re: We're all Westerners

it stops being nice when you have to move your neck to look from one side of the monitor to the other:P

Re: We're all Westerners

I was against forcing subprime mortgages before they did damage, Schniepel. I don't like credit. I rarely spend anything on it, and I do just to maintain my perfect credit score with enough credit history to be able to make use. The American dream is that I can buy all the nice stuff I can afford and enjoy it and whining morons can go bankrupt and it's not my problem. At least, that used to be the Amerikan dream. Now we're going to socialize and lower ourselves to northern Europe's level.

I wouldn't have anywhere to put a 30", avogadro. I'd have to sit so far back from it lol.

Is that true of resolution, Mr. Yell, or just widescreen monitors?

[I wish I could obey forum rules]

Re: We're all Westerners

Depends on your resolution, TheYell.

Re: We're all Westerners

yell, the problem is the larger monitors also have slower response times. thats why for serious fpsing, you cant go above 24" atm. or at least none of the 30" i've seen have had anything better then 5ms response time.  while theres 24" monitors with 2ms response times.

as for a 30" being too big.... i use a recliner so i'm usually a fair distance away from the actual monitor while playing. i currently have 24" and would like to go larger, 30" being the obvious choice because any smaller would use the same resolution i have and just decrease picture quality.  i think i've talked myself out of it atm. it appears OLED's are going to be able to compete with LCD's  and not just be ridiculously expensive toys in a year or two. they have higher pixel density, slimmer, lighter, more durable, faster response time, perfect blacks, use less energy, and will possibly be transparent when not in use.

schniepel, is the 30" at work widescreen? i think i've seen them widescreen and not, widescreen is obviously better at maximizing what you see in your field of view.  maybe when OLED monitor's come out, they'll be able to have much higher resolutions at smaller sizes.

and yes, its just not the banks, its the socialist idea in washington thats forcing this shit.

Just blame the "socialists". That fixes everything!

Re: We're all Westerners

its the socialist attitude, that everyone deserves such and such that drives the politicians to force banks to give credit to people that shouldnt have it and is causing the economic crisis.

Re: We're all Westerners

Its not the socialist attitude at all.
Its some people who claim to be socialist present symptoms remarkably similar to that attitude.

> drives the politicians

And hence, DEMOCRACY DOESN'T WORK.

Re: We're all Westerners

Socialist it would be to give other peoples money to the poor.. not printing it for them tongue

Also.. I think this was started under Pres. Carter... Reagen had a chance to change it.. Bush Sr. Had a chance to change it. Clinton also had... Bush Jr. had.. no one acted.. No Reps.. No Dems. Blaming it on the "socialists" now is so lame.

It actually was a good thing while the cold war was going on.. Appeared like the west would be so super supperior.
It worked.. The UDSSR disappeared.. Communism is as good as dead.. Free Market won..

now we have to carry the consequences though.

I am getting the feeling that now that the competition to free market is gone.. more and more flaws become visible.


About the 30" yes it is widescreen, I myself have never seen a none Widescreen TFT in this size.. But maybe it exists.

unfortunatlly i can not find any stats about reaction time. 5ms is really not so evil though.

Re: We're all Westerners

yeah, 5ms isnt so evil, just saying someone very serious about fps would be more concerned with the slower response time then they would about a slightly wider view.

well, both political parties in the US are socialist, so its no surprise that neither of them tried to change it.

i cant see how you can say competition to the free market is gone when a free market doesnt even exist...
