xxxalpinexxx80 · 07-03-2007, 03:55 AM

hey i am looking into purchase this monitor for my 8800gts

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16889262002

you know how if you put resolution on its max things get smaller if i put resolution lower will it get bigger so i can see everything good at a not to far distance

The lower the screen resolution the closer everything becomes. But with that large of size usually that will require a minimum. 1366 x 768 is the recommended while you shouldn't see any problems with a lower setting in games themselves.

You can alter text size and icon size. It would be a waste to have a monitor that supported a high rez but you use a smaller one to see better.
