In the past you could get decent res:-1280x1024 or above and quite commonly 1600x1200 and at 2ms response times. However it seems that some idiot somewhere decided that we only watch videos on our computers so we onlyneed 1920x1080 at 5ms response times, and for crappy lappies only 1366x768.
27" Dell UltraSharp U2713H - 2560x1440 - $799 27" X-Star DP2710 (Samsung panel) - 2560x1440 - $295 There are options for higher-res screens; they've been around for a while too. They're just not as common. Lindsay Replies, 16x10 monitors (business class) are certainly easier to get now than a year or 2 back. Particularly 2560x1600. I only use 16x10 monitors as the others simply do not have enough height. I have two 2560x1600, I purchased one a Samsung 305t some years ago at great expense. I liked it ___SO___ much I purchased a HP ZR30w a few months ago, it was around $1300 from a shop in Shepparton. The 30 inch monitors were originally purchased for graphics and photo work. But they are ___absolutely___ made for train sims, Really!!!! The 2560x1440's do not have enough space for a decent cabview, most loco cabs being more or less arranged in a vertical fashion. (the 2560x1600 do not really have enough space either but the don't make 2560x1920 monitors and probably never will). Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm two 2560x1440's vertical side by side may be interesting. I know someone who has gone for three 1920x1080's vertically side by side specficly for trainsim work. Lindsay
