I just bought a new system on Saturday (you can read about it in another thread).

Last night I decided to shell out for a Sony 21" flat G500 monitor - max resolution 2048x1536 @ 75 hertz. It was used, but these things retailed for $1200 a few years back. (Theres 2 more left on Ebay and they are going for cheap)

It's pefect for maxxing out Half Life 2, in fact, that's exactly why I bought it, it's one of the few monitors that can handle that high res at a decent hertz.

I checked some benchmarks for my new Radeon X800 XL and in HL2, they were getting about 35 frames a second @ 2048x1536 with 8x AA and 8xAF. Anyway, I can always cut back on the AA or AF if I need a little bit higher frame rate.. but because of my prior system (listed below) I'm used to playing in the 30-50 fps range with no AA and only triscopic (sp?) filtering.. so no biggie.

So... does anyone here actually play in that resolution? How is it..?
