24" Monitor with XPS420
Hello everyone,
Just a quick query, I'm thinking of getting my hands on a new monitor: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=uk&l=en&s=dhs&cs=ukdhs1&sku=180695
and was wondering about gaming with this. I've got an XPS420, which can run Crysis pretty well (on my current 19" monitor.) So my question is, if I get a 24" monitor, will I notice a significant performance hit, or will it run roughly as well as it does at the moment?
My spec
XPS 420 with Vista (32 bit)
Intel Quadcore 2.4Ghz CPU
3GB RAM
Nvidia 8800GT 512MB GPU
640GB HDD
Thanks in advance for the advice,
Ed.

The larger the monitor the harder a video card has to work to provide the exta pixals need for the bigger resoultions. If your current card can support the resoultion of the 24 " then the picture will look larger and appear to be better.
As to perfromance no. A monitor will not affect overall performance. But I bet it will still look a whole lot better.

If you run the SAME resolution at you used for the 19"monitor everything should be the same.
However if you increase the resolution..... From like say 1024 by 768
to 1600 by 900 to match a better monitor you will get a performance hit.
