Hey guys! So here is my deal here. I was planning to build my first computer. Right now I have a 4 year old dell xps and its time to upgrade!! I want to build my own for 1. save money!! and 2. it sounds fun!!! I was planning to build a pretty pwnage rig and do a little somethin special... get a new Samsung ultra thin 55'' HDTV and use that monster as my monitor!! This set up would cost me roughly 6k dollars lol. I already use my 32 inch 720p as my monitor and love it but want a higher resolution and a even bigger screen. BUT today there became a huge bump in my master plan
I went into my new job today to sign the tax papers and I found out how much I am getting payed. Yea.... um wayyyyyyyy less than I thought I would be getting ha! I wanted to cry So basically getting a 6k dollar set up is out of the picture! But I still do not want to be playing crysis at 720p so it looks like I will be going back to the ole monitor days
I am looking at a 24'' 1920x1200 I went on Dell's site and saw one of these guys UltraSharp 2408WFP 24-inch

Basically what I am asking is what is a good monitor? Who makes good monitors? Should I go 24'' or maybe get a 26'' cuz I am so use to my 32''. I do sit further back using my 32'' No way could I use this 32'' on a conventional desk i'd go blind! So yea any tips???? I would be going back to a conventional desk with this monitor sooooo yea.
Oh, also what are some specs I should look for in a good monitor? I want a kick ass monitor here. Not going cheap.
