N4 & GPL - Totally new racing experience!

Wanna feel like it's REALLY real racing? Get a 22" Monitor :) I just got a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2060u 22" monitor and it's a totally different experience. It's almost feels like I'm sitting at one of my favorite Arcade sit-down's, Hard Drivin' (and Hard Racin'). I'm running all my sims (that support it) at 1600X1200 16bit 100hz refresh. Really fine Monitor too, btw... -Larry

Hehe :) I made one typo... The refresh rate at 1600X1200 is 85Hz. Whoopie :) Most can't make it past 68 or 75 at this resolution, and it doesn't drop to 75hz until you get all the way to 2048X1280 ! This is a REALLY killer display. -Larry "Gerry Aitken" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Larry.....what is the "dot pitch" on that monitor? Tom

Also...would you mind providing a model number and an approximation of what you paid for it (and from where)? I have to buy seven monitors here shortly......so I'm researching this issue this coming week. Currently, I'm using NEC FE1250+ (21" with 20.25 viewable and .24 pitch) since the KDS 21" monitors are no longer made. But, I had to make the choice of this NEC unit "on the fly" since it came in the middle of the computer contraction...and was "last minute" when I found out the KDS units would no longer be made. You info would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tom Pabst

Its a shame that its 1.25 instead of more like .24..........j/k -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Tom Pabst <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4Twf7.12110$[email hidden]... > Larry.....what is the "dot pitch" on that monitor? > > Tom > >

It's .24 uniform across. It's Aperture grille, though, as it's a DiamondTron. Text is perfectly legible at 1600X1200. -Larry "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4Twf7.12110$[email hidden]... > Larry.....what is the "dot pitch" on that monitor? > > Tom > >

What the hell are you talking about? It IS .24, uniform across the screen. -Larry "Biz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tcBf7.51061$[email hidden]...

Tom, Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2060u. $899 at MicroCenter. That's pretty much the average price it's selling for. However, I paid the tax and picked it up locally to save the (substantial) shipping charges and since I am very picky about my displays, I wanted it easy to take back and exchange if necessary. -Larry "Tom Pabst" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:jXwf7.12147$[email hidden]... > Also...would you mind providing a model number and an approximation ofwhat > you paid for it (and from where)? > > I have to buy seven monitors here shortly......so I'm researching thisissue > this coming week.

Average? That's damn expensive to me. Must be nice to have that kind of money...

I have a Nokia 445Xpro, 3 years old and still kicking ass $1200 But for the money, the ViewSonic GS815s are pretty good 21" monitors for around $800 They are the same 20" viewable as the 22" model and they are short depth The are not flat-screen but Im one of those anal guys that can see the two lines :)
