GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Tuesday, Apr 8, 2008

Just got myself a new Samsung 2493HM 24" LCD for my birthday. I knew the thing was going to be big, but that didn't stop my jaw from hitting the ground as soon as I got it on my desk. Newegg was great as usual, shipping was very fast. As for the monitor itself, colors are excellent, and the 1920x1200 resolution gives me pleanty of screen real estate. Being a TN panel, there were some complaints of viewing angles, but I haven't had a problem in that regard. Obviously, going from 1440x900 to 1920x1200 takes a hit in frames, but most of my games (with the exception of Crysis) average in the 50-60 range. The monitor can also be flipped vertically, which is a very cool feature.

I'll post some pictures once I get my blasted camera working again.

This is a screenshot of my desktop. Nothing much, but I just thought I'd give you guys and idea of how many pixels are on the screen.
