And yes shifting from a 17 to 22 is strange feeling. It was like woa!. But now 22 also seems small to me :-D. U will also get used to it.

@Arijit, You have purchased a monster rig. Many Congrats.
@Jas, Thanks. Yes, you are absolutely right. When I moved from 17 to 22 about 3 years back, I was just looking and looking at the monitor. My parents said, You've wasted money again by buying another LCD TV! :)) But now the 22'' really seems small :(

Fortunately my Viewsonic 24inch feels Bigger :shock: even now after 1.5 Years... .. :p

Maybe in my office ,we use 19-22 only .so basically when i come back to my room i feel it's large monitor.....

Recently I downloaded these two FULL HD BLUE-RAY prints which are not RIPS..(Look at that staggering file size's)

WOW :shock: my monitor is freakin awesome in producing stunning colors which i never knew it's capable like that...

Ithehappy yup my parents also said u are wasting money by going for 22. Get a 19 and it will suffice :-D. But now a gpu is my necessity.

Sv its because that only. When i visit my dad's office and after seeing the 19" LGs and his 16" lappy mine also seems big. But long time at home it feels small :-D

Skud,vickybat,ithehappy,Jaskanwar Singh thanx

Well i dnt have the app/tool to test the monitor. :???:

Only what my eyes have seen i m telling u.

I dnt have 1080p collection.But tested a 1280*720p trailer
& man it was crystal clear.amazing contrast ratio & crystal clear video no single pixellation was there.though i had tested the same video in my old CRT but
after looking @LED i can c the difference between the two.:-D

Also HDMI connection has no hassles just plug & play unlike DVI where u have to roll the screws.....

Tested Prince of Persia 2008 & it was eyecandy to play it on LED than CRT.
though i m playing it on 1080p but still the game screen has not covered the full size of the screen dnt know y.a rectangulat black border is there

will test crysis soon.

i have a query

Q:when i 1st booted the machine the screen area was 75% instead of 100%
same in POST screen & boot loading.But it made to fit 100% by using the catalyst scaling option.But now when i boot the pc i can dat only 75% screen is filled in POST screen & windows 7 boot loading screen cant i make it 100%?


Thanks buddy for posting the feedback. And yes, monitor is one thing where i rely more on user feedback rather than any benchmark tool. Please post your experience with Crysis also.

Well it depends on your ISP's connection, don't know about Sunil's but with my RS premium I download almost 6-7 GB per day, some times when I have no work it exceeds 8 GB. I only have The Godfather series in Full HD, total about 70 GB, which I still remember took over a week to download.
Mine is 2 mbps Unlimited.

it is a monster rig. I'm more than satisfied with current system. Planning to keep this one for long time to come. Might crossfire with another HD5770 and add one 24" LCD later this year.

today I played GTA-IV for 4 hours. It's an awesome experience than my previous HD4850 experience.

Well, amateur astronomers are susceptible to an ailment known as "Two inchitis", meaning that any self-respecting member of that breed always craves for a telescope with may be just two more inches larger aperture than the one he/she has, and believes that he/she could observe all celestial objects worth observing if his/her 'scope was just that much larger in aperture! Hmm friends, sorry to admit that as an amateur astronomer I contracted that ailment years ago and carried that over to my other hobby, computing, so far as the size of the monitor is concerned. Now I see you guys have caught the bug too, and it is satisfying to know that I have company!
I also have a similar problem concerning the system memory of my computer, and I always long for MORE, but then that is another story!

You should be and it's a 6C proccy which I think you won't need to update in next 4-5 years at least. Enjoy it. :)

Hi, Since I'm also from Hyd maybe we should meet some day to share the movies you have.
You didn't mention the ISP. From FUP I assume its Airtel.
Where in Hyd?

Bought Dell 2420L from Bangalore .. Price 12075...

Purpose: Work on Flash and Web Design...

Other Consideration: U2311 (No HDMI)

I wanted HDMI output as i am attaching this to my laptop so was unable to go for the ultrasharp model.

I am also buying a Alienware with 460M 1.5gb and want to attach this to the monitor and play games and work. Do you think I will be able to play games at highest settings and AA turned on...

@ajayritik @Karan,,

I am using BEAM tele broadband. FUP is quite common with ISP except BSNL and not limited to only Airtel.

Karan,

i don't know whether you have Beam Broadband there or not.. It's very cheap and very good Service.... I have been using it for last 7 months and very few issues are there. After 75GB , speed reduces to 1mbps and can download unlimited at speed of 1mbps which is very good i say compared Stupid TATA BROADBAND where they will harass to upgrade your plan or will ask you to STOP using internet.
