These are quite old videos I was reviewing and realised I did not probably share them on this forum, so have a look and see if you like them, including the music: Landing Palma: Landing Vaernes: Landing Chicago Midway: There are a few others you can easily find.

Hi Noel,happy you got to my same conclusions.By the way, I was extremely pleased with the U2412M settings out of the box. I couldn't notice any blue shift but maybe I don't have eyes that sensitive. Wonder what calibration did you apply as I tried some calibration file found on tftcentral (http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/articles/icc_profiles.htm) but wasnt satisfied so reverted back to the default and just lowered brightness to 50%.Regardsm.

Just an update guys, I finally opted for a Dell U2412M 1920x1200 16:10 IPS. Haven't yet tested FSX but I can say first impression is very positive compared to my previous Samsung 226BW which I enjoyed anyway.I had to decide between a wider 27 inch 16:9 Dell U2711 and the 24 Dell U2412M. In the end I wasn't sure about going to 2500 x 1600 native resolution, I believe 1900 is enough and I did not want to be penalised by a few frame rates based on what you are saying in the forum. Am aware you can use less antialising but if using FSX application understand you just have one setting. I worked out a calculation to compare a 27 inch 16:9 to a 24 inch 16:10 and basically the main difference is the screen is wider (left to right) by 8 cm but in term of height (top to bottom) they are nearly the same.I think both options are perfectly fine however, I just felt that was the best for me, in the end I can always put the screen 2 cm closer to my face to obtain the same effect (don't need a thousand inch screen to be watched from 300 meters away!)Cheersm.

Thanks,I guess I should be deciding between a 1920x1200 or 2560x1600, 16:10. I am sure 2560 is awesome but I would probably like having a few fps more and a smoother experience rather than best possible quality.Is there any really good 1920x1200 26 or 27 out there that is worth considering?Thanksm.

I will soon be upgrading my 22 Samsung monitor to a bigger and better one. I was targeting a 26-27 inches IPS and a good candidate is the Dell Ultrasharp U2711.However, I am now getting confused.My system is P8P67 PRO B3, [email protected], 8Gb RAM, GTX 560 Ti, 2x128 Gb SSD, 2TB storage, CM690II Adv, and using NGX, UTX, UT2, REX, GEX and would be using the monitor also for photos and movies occasionally.OK now why am confused and what I am considering:- 2560x1440 vs 1980x1080 vs 1920x1200: I would prefer a 1980 resolution as I don't believe the loss of frame rates / smoothness in FSX is compensated by the increased quality and resolution in 2560x1440. I believe 1980x1080 or 1920x1200 is the right compromise for flight simulation.- 2560x1440, 1980x1080 (widescreen 16:9) vs 1920x1200 (16:10): I tend to prefer 16:10 as also read this is suggested for FSX due to 2D panel "stretching" issue, although it should not be really a big issue and understand NGX has a 16:9 panel as well.- IPS for FSX: worth it?In a nutshell, what do you recommend? Is the U2711 OK and perhaps downscaling FSX to 1980x1080 is still feasible and a solution without having a significant loss of quality (while retaining the highest 2560 res for other tasks e.g. photos)? Is the anti coating issue significantly affecting quality for this monitor?Or do you have any other suggestion of a good to very good 27 monitor for FSX (16:9 or 16:10)?Thanksm.

Thanks guys, my question was also more about a 64 Gb for the OS as opposed to the 128 Gb. It seems to me that eventhough 64 is plenty for the OS alone, the 64Gb SSD is somehow slower on sequential write and with Windows updates, you can easily reach the limit and I would prefer never think too much about managing space on the OS drive

I am about to build a new FSX system with the following components:MB: ASUS P8P67 PROCPU: i7 2600KMemory: Gskill Ripjaws X 8GB DDR3 1600 CL7PSU: Antec Truepower Quattro Tp 750Case: Cooler Master CM 690 II AdvancedCooler: Noctua NH D14Graphic: ZOTAC GTX 560Ti Amp 1Gb Core 950 MhzSSD: 1 x Crucial M4 SSD 64 Gb (OS)SSD: 1 x Crucial M4 SSD 128 Gb (FSX, other performance apps)HDD: 1x Seagate Barracuda XT 2 Tb (Storage)My question: is the SSD break down choice well balanced? My selection is based on the following:- Better having OS and FSX on separate SSD if possible- One SSD only dedicated to OS therefore 64 Gb is plenty- One SSD for FSX and performance apps , 128 Gb is okMy concern:- 64 Gb Crucial M4 has lower write performance as opposed to the 128 or 256 models, however this should not be a big issue for an OS SSD.- I would like to keep hibernation although read with SSD this is not recommended (but I found it handy when wanting to freeze the system where it is rather than booting always). In that case write performance is more important.Appreciate your viewsThanks
