@WilltheMagicAsian I considered that I wouldn't be able to fully utilize 120hz of this resolution playing FPSs. That's why I'm on the fence. Part of me thinks I should just get a Asus VS247H (even though its not 120hz I imagine the better response time makes up for it and its cheaper.) My HDTV outputs 120hz which is the reason I use it as my game display, its just a pain the in ass to sit in front of the TV with a keyboard and mouse which is why I want an adjacent display with a traditional hookup.
@Ben_H Thanks for the link, I couldn't find this link last night but I had read the Swiftworld link referred to through. Both reviewers recommended the monitors but this doesn't pass this gut check test. Something is a bit off about it.
I'm inferring that both of you are in the same boat as me, don't own one but very interested and can't bring yourself to pull the plug.
I'm very curious to hear others experience in importing these since as the Tested article points out you can see they manufacturers definitely cheaped on components.
But isn't TV 120hz just interpolated? It doesn't actually output a 120hz signal. The 120hz monitors output a non-framedoubled 120hz signal. Although I may be wrong, I don't own a modern TV, I just use my monitor.
If you want to get a Catleap that's guaranteed to work at 120hz, check out http://www.120hz.net
Although, they seem to have gone up in price. I think the only IPS monitor I would truly recommend for gaming would be one of the eIPS ultrasharps, as they have minimal ghosting/input lag. The more color accurate IPS panels like H-IPS and P-IPS have pretty bad ghosting and input lag. Also know that it's pretty hard to get good FPS (60+) on recent titles at 2560x1440, and you won't be getting the full benefits of 120hz unless you're running at 120 FPS. So there is also a hefty hardware investment that comes with 120hz. It will still look way smoother at the 80-100 FPS range though.
But honestly, 120hz monitors are the way to go if you just want a monitor for gaming. At least, in my case since I've been using 100hz since CRTs.
I hope being more "straight forward and more understandable" doesn't end up taking away a lot of the fun of the game. Then again, after two games, you already kind of expect what's going to happen, so it probably won't be able to capture that magic of playing the game for the first time. Just hope it turns out good, along with the PC port.
More populated areas, because honestly there were a plenty of areas in Dark Souls that were just you running through without any enemy intervention. Also, harder or different type of enemies spawning where they shouldn't be in later playthroughs.
