Monitor vs. Flat Screen TV

Featured Replies

FSX Monitor Best Monitor Resolution Flat Screen TVI am in the process of configuring my existing system to run FSX. Some progress has been made in that regard (see my configuration listing below). My next step, is to buy an appropriate monitor. I have an existing CRT monitor… I would like to use for maps. However, I would like to purchase a new large (Flat Screen / Computer Monitor) as my primary display. I have reviewed many of the postings on this forum… However, I am still not clear as to which display setup will be optimum. Are there any specific product recommendations regarding a Flat Screen or Computer Monitor? Something in the 26-32 inch range, under $800 dollars? I'm open to all ideas and suggestions !!!Current hardware configuration…My computer has an Intel Quad Core CPU (Q9450) 2.66 GHz, 4GB Ram, 1 TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive, and one Nivida GS 9600 video board with 786 MB RAM. I have just installed FSX Deluxe (and it’s two updates) into my computer. In addition… I have Elite yoke, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant, radio stack… connected to the system via an external USB hub. P.S. My initial test on my existing setup indicate a frame rate of 25-41 at 1024x768

Buy the largest LCD LED Back-lit PC monitor you can afford. Then run FSX in VC mode with TrackIR 5. Yo will never look back. You can also add a second smaller/cheaper monitor for avionics.Cheers,- jahman.

Thanks for the suggestions Jahman!The largest PC Monitor I've seen is 27 inches. Is anyone aware of anything larger than 27 inches? Thanks to all!John

I think you can find some 30 inches but that's as high it goes... however I haven't seen many 30inch LED yet, most everything is 27" or under. My advice, stay away from anything that isn't LED.

If you look real hard you might still find some of these 30" LED gems around:http://www.samsung.c...ype=lcd-monitor
