I'm not sure what you mean by a difference in image quality between resolutions. A 1920 x 1200 display will show 2304000 pixels on the screen in order to fill it, and a 1680 x 1050 display draws 1764000. The only difference between the screens would be that the larger screen contains more pixels, and the image will be larger.

Sounds reasonable but no such luck. The only store in the area is a CompUSA and they dont allow it. Already tried.

Dont count on constant high frame rates at 1920x1200 with all the options maxed.

The pixel pitch of a 24" is better than that of a 22".

And the price difference certainly reflects that.

In my experience, I can really tell the difference between 1900x1200 vs. 1680x1050 on my 24". Especially in Oblivion, I cannot play at 1680x1050 without cringing. Although 1680x1050 might be adequete for a 22", it's definitely not for 24" (at least for me).

I have a 24 inch Acer and 2 X1900's in X-fire and I don't think I could ever go back to playing at anything less than 1900 X 1200. Well, at least not happily anyway. |

While I do appreciate your comments and the comments of other posters, I would appreciate it greatly, and Im sure everybody would appreciate it greatly as well, if one of you gamers with a 1920x1200 screen can do us all the favor of taking some screen shots.
