    Monitor+graphics card question?

    Should I go for a 22"+HD 4850 or a 24"+HD 4870...or the nvidia route... Do not consider budget here only the experience... Is there much of a change from a 22" to a 24"...apart from the resolution?

    If budget's not a factor - get a 24" Dell Ultrasharp model and a Nvidia GTX280

    OK let's just keep the budget in an acceptable range...but without too much compromise

    I got a 20" and whilst i do love it I wish I had spent a little extra at the time (well almost double ) and gone 24" for a more immersive gaming experience. the GTX 260 Maxcore is very competetive with the 4870 in terms of price/performance so consider that too.
