I've seen lots of good reviews, both 'pro' and by buyers, for the Sammy... and most of buyers reviews for the Cibox seem good too.
I'm upgrading from a Hitachi CML174 which I've just sold, and I'm currently using a 15" (!) Sammy 152. Both seem ok to me, for image quality and games playing, so I don't think I'm particularly 'sensitive' to anything... except in-game framerate: I'm sort of tempted by the smaller screen size so I can play my games at native res, because my system is a bit underpowered (A64 3700/X1950 Pro), but I may be upgrading the cpu soon.
So ... what do you guys think? (apologies to any Bit-Tech / TechReport forumites who've stumbled on this thread and are currently saying 'oh no, hasn't he made his mind up yet!?!' )
Well, ideally of course I'd have the world's best 30" display, with a beast of a pc to drive it.
So the actual size of the screen isn't a 'problem' - I've got plenty of desk space.
The real nuggets of the question are:
1) Is it worth making my pc struggle to deliver decent framerates on the higher res of the larger screen?
and
2) Is a budget large screen noticeably less able than a good small screen?
(Which maybe comes down to this: is todays' technology for budget screens better than that of my old Hitachi, which I was quite happy with?)
