Ah, that is more reassuring. Also, I noticed you have a 1080p monitor. It seems like the majority of monitors are now 16:9.

Do you have issues with older games running in 16:9 vs 16:10?

Depends on the game some run fine some don't like it. Really old games only go upto 1600 x 1200.

One review said they could get dizzy if the monitor was closer than 4 feet (the 25" one). I would say right now I have barely 4 feet between me and the back of my desk (which is a hutch). This makes me a bit nervous now, maybe I should get something smaller... but I'm wondering if it would be worth the difference going from 19" to 22"

I'm sitting about 1.5ft away from my 28" I use to run a 37" and only sat about 2.5ft away and I loved it... only downfall was is I had to turn my head to see anything on the corners of the monitor well This 28" seems perfect, but if your desk can't fit it, the 25.5" looks nice.

Wow, you all crazy sitting so close to such big screens I'm about 1.5ft to my 20" 1680x1050 and seems pretty spot on so that I see everything from it.

Go much bigger and I'd have to move my eyes. Although ~22" 1920x will be next in line some day.
And 22" just because the text would be too small on this size.

Surely you saw the dots from the 37" already 1Kurgan1?

I sit arms length from my 27 and it's AMAZING. It's all about personal preference imo.


ALSO. http://bfbcs.com/pc has new stats sigs available.

HOLY! THAT's TOO close!

It's seem like the focus of my eyes are not as wide as you.

I guess I just might lean a little back into my chair so it's a little further than arms length. Still pretty close though. With a screen this size I feel like it's bringing the image to me as apposed to me getting closer to make out the details.

Yeah, I bet the immersion is great

But boy are those full hd screen cheap even here. Clearly seeable that they are selling out the non-led backlight screens out as old tech. Was really thinking that it would be LED next as I want black and not blackish you get on night maps. Luckily just one night map on BC2 and I don't like scary games.

It's $201 for 23" full HD even here and I remember paying $400 for my first 2ms 19" 1280x1024. Argh, I'm saving for 5850/460 can't think about a new screen Please all say that BC2 looks like poop on HD

Man, Oblivion and Battlefield 2 were dark with an HD TV. I mean, night time is one thing, but this was pitch black darkness. I was waiting for the weird creatures to come out of the ground and eat everything. At least, I have night vision in both games, so that helped.

Prices are really affordable now for 22-24" screens. My main screen still was $500 but it was the best screen I could find it's "only" an LCD but I like it. The immersion is great but sitting so close to a screen this size has made my 42" TV feel dwarfed in comparison.

Ive never had an issue with much anything man. I would like to go even bigger........but thats a different story.

If anything using a larger display will relive eye strain. With a screen this size my eyes are more relaxed while gaming and generally using my system.

I think 25.5" will be just about the right size to max out my desk real-estate.

I went ahead and ordered it from Newegg, should be here Tuesday, can't wait.

Hopefully it'll be awesome!

I game on a 23" x1080 on my desk and i sit back in a reclining desk chair when i play and its most comfortable. I have a 120hz 40" on the wall and Ive tried gaming on it but I usually get motion sickness... I couldn't imagine sitting arms reach from it... my eyes would BLEEEED!

Thats what everyone online always asked, especially since it was only a 720P TV, but honestly now, it looked flat out amazing. There maybe naysayers out there, and they may tell me I am wrong, but I seen it with my own eyes and I loved it, and any of my tech head friends that came over drooled at it. I missed it for a long time, but finally I am actually happy again with this 28", I never had eye strain issues in my life, till I had to switch from the 37". That was horrible, I then had to buy a 22" to try and make my eyes feel better, but I still found myself leaning forward and straining eyes, then went 24" which started to feel better, and I finally think this 28" solved it. I now am able to lean back and game comfortably.

I agree completely, I dont think I will ever go back smaller than this 28", finally eyes feel good.

Also, I hate HC, lol. I got killed as many times in that game by teamates as I did by enemys. :/ And I tried to in the heat of battle hit a dead enemy with my shock paddles to rez him. What I really dislike is , is why is HC everything or nothing. Like you should still be able to see how much ammo your carrying, or whos in your tank, these are things you would know out on the field. It would be nice if it had those 2 things, then I would play more, but trying to get in full tanks, or not knowing who your tank gunner is or if he is an engineer makes me sad.

here you can see what weapons/classes are used, and are most kills made with.

I'm sort of surprised the % of kills by the defib isn't higher. I know when I'm running around in a battlezone with my paddles out trying to revive buddies, I often shock nearby enemies to death. I find it's better than giving them a couple seconds to kill you while you pull out a gun.

[boise49ers]

So has any one been able to update their
stats since this new company bought Stat Verse ?
I haven't !

Funny I did that and then died and their medic
brought them back and I didn't get the kill.

I like the damage model in HC and that's it. When I feel the need to kill by instincts that's when I play HC. You should update your system specs too..

its sad how close the 40mm is to being the top killing weapon for assault

I can run MW2 on my 52" and it actually makes me ill.
COD 4 doesn't though. Strange ! Do they make a decent
wireless Keyboard and Mouse for gaming that I won't
have to tap into my retirement to buy ?
