I need to know of a good 17" monitor can handle a refresh rate of 120Hz at
least. I might be getting 3d gaming glasses but they require that you have
at least a refresh rate of 120Hz at the minimum to reduce eyestrain. Maybe
post what resolution it gets 120Hz at too. My monitor only goes to 75Hz in
every resolution.

Yah you'll need a good card to drive it too. If you already have one, might
check the site for the card and see if they recommend monitors. Or just do a
web search there are all kinds of folks who sell monitors...

Also places like Comp USA often have dynamite deals on monitors. Sometimes
you just have to go in there and look, calling them can be frustrating. :)
And sometimes they just run specials today only and such.

Trekker: You didn't say whether it was an LCD flat screen or a CRT one.
I don't recommend a flat screen LCD. A flat screen CRT would probably be
okay. I just read this in the February 2001 issue of Maxium PC: "The
problem with all LCD displays is that such monitors only have one
'natural' resolution, and when you set your monitor to run at different,
lower resolutions, the picture becomes a blurry mess due to
interpolation." So obviously, this would be a very bad choice to use
with 3D gaming glasses. As far as monitor size goes, I would go with at
LEAST a 17" monitor. I've read reviews of 3D gaming glasses that
basically implied "the bigger the monitor, the better the experience."

Dennis13: What brand/type of 3D gaming glasses are you getting? 3D
shutter glasses? Glasses from http://www.i-glasses.com/? Some other
type?

[View Quote] Not always. I have an 800x600 LCD here, and when I run something at a lower
resolution, I can choose to have the picture enlarged (which blurs it a
bit), or have a black box around it. Depends on what you prefer. Of course
you can also just run it in the natural resolution of the screen.

I found that the blurring sometimes actually improves the picture quality in
games.

Most/Some 3d gaming glasses requires that you have a CRT monitor so that's
what I'd probably go with.

LOL but the main topic seems to be COMPLAINING and calling others names so
if anything your post is like fresh air...

BTW with the price of flat screens going down and the cost of electricity as
it is even now... something to think about.
