XLO-JOKER Wrote:Alright guys, I think I'm ready to make the jump from a CRT monitor to a LCD. I have a question though:Is the user of an LCD monitor "locked in" to 1 resolution setting? I have a Intel I7-940 with a Nvidia GT 220, and I'm not sure what the highest res.that I can run is. I dont want to get too much monitor for my system.Any help or suggestions are welcome.Oh and money is tight, so a good "budget" LCD in the 20-22 inch range would be nice. Thanxs for any replies.

Hi, Joker
In my opinion, the biggest thing to get in a monitor is the ability to increase the monitor refresh rate. Where I am in America, monitors are typically 60 hz out the box and many can not be adjusted.
Adjustable monitor refresh rate will enable you to set Vertical Sync for IL-2 to match a higher refresh rate than the default USA 60 hz, for example 75 or 90.
This results in smoother frames of IL-2 when Vertical Sync ON is desired.
_________________________________________________________________
Vertical Sync matches the frame rates of IL-2 to the monitor refresh rate, therefore avoiding the horizontal tearing of the image which is not uncommon. Also, this causes the VGA to produce stable frame rates instead of fluctuating frame rates which is in itself a small hit against processing performance.
Guys in my Fallen Angels Squadron use a 20 inch monitor or more with no problem and a high resolution, too.
(I fly in IL-2 with my laptop computer)
