30" Monitor?!

joytime360 · 04-09-2008, 05:28 PM

I have noticed that Dell has announced a 30" monitor, and some people just thinking about use it for gaming:

Well personally I do think $1199 is too expensive for me, with that budget I can get a tv.

Dell SB has the Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC 30 inch Wide-Screen Black Flat Panel Monitor for $1199 with free shipping.

# It will stun you with its 2560x1600 resolution, 11ms response time, and 400 cd/m2 brightness.

# Requires a DVI-D dual-link graphic card that supports WQXGA resolution.

Yeah .... I think I'm with you. I can think of better ways of spending my grand.

And I don't think the specifications of that monitor are very good.

Seconded

That makes sense.

50" > 30"

I have a 26" HDTV with a max res of 1080i. I picked it off the net for $500. Its not a well know brand but the specs are just the same as others like Sony, Panasonic ect. And its was $550 cheaper than a Sony equivalent.

Jack.Sparrow · 04-10-2008, 05:38 AM

... I bought my plasma (stupidly) when they came out

$8000 43" HD ... You can pick up a 60" screen (same brand) for around $4000 now ...

zomg thats alot....

Jack.Sparrow · 04-10-2008, 05:54 AM

Tell me about it. Cheapest one's I've seen are around the $1000 mark, usually around 50 - 60", not very well known brands, but I expect they do the same job.

nate7761 · 04-10-2008, 06:18 AM

just use a TV. i have two 32" t.v.'s setup for dual monitors and it works great. got each t.v. for $400

**beefers1** · 05-25-2008, 08:08 PM

don't TV's run at a lower res than monitors? i mean, 2560x1600 has 640000 more pixels than 1920x1080 (1080p). I wonder why they can't make 40-50" screens with that resolution.

My girlfriend is using my TV to play World of Warcraft. 1920x1080 progressive. Looks AWESOME.
