gaming monitor glossy image
Curious117
When looking at these glossy LCD screens in the stores the screens seem very reflective and I am concerned that they might cause eye strain and/or be hard to read in the typical bright flourescent lighting of an office. I understand that the glossy screens are much better for viewing video's and games in a darkened room but I am a business user and would like the best screen for business purposes. Does anyone have practical experience using both types of screens?
Answer
I do. I have a Dell Inspiron 640m notebook and a Dell Dimension 3000 PC with a 17" Dell Flat Panel Monitor. The notebook has a TrueLife glossy screen and the desktop has a matte screen. I've used both in fluorescent lighting and none of them cause eye strain. Both are harder to view in bright light, but lighting in an office building won't do anything. Just tilt the screen in a comfortable position where there will be no reflection. The glossy screens are actually easy to see despite how reflective they are. Glossy screens are more expensive, though. Matte screens have been around for a while and are deemed lower quality than glossy, thus matte is cheaper. It's your choice, if you need slightly better quality and more color reproduction, get a glossy, and if you don't care, you can save some cash with a matte. Matte screens are becoming harder to find with newer notebooks as well, so you may not have a choice. You may have to go glossy.

What kind of Desktop can run Battlefield 3 on Ultra settings?

I also want it to run other high performance games, my budget would be from $1,000 - $2,000, I would like it to include a monitor, if it does not include one then a referral to a monitor would be nice. Oh and I would like it to be pre-made, I'm not fond of building it myself (I am aware its cheaper)
Answer
I recommend ordering a custom build from a site like CyberpowerPC or Ibuypower, as pre-built units won't be configured well for such a high level of gaming unless they're HORRENDOUSLY overpriced.
On those sites you select the components you want and they build the unit and install Windows 7. It's more expensive than building, but you're free of any potential headaches or hassles from bad/defective parts needing to be exchanged during the building process, issues getting Windows to recognize your hardware etc.
In general, you'll want a Core i5 based computer (Core i7 is NOT better for gaming) along with 8GB of RAM and a $250 or higher graphics card (at least a Radeon 7850 or GeForce GTX 570). Always upgrade to a high-quality power supply from Corsair or Antec.
Here's a build that would run BF3 maxed easily. Feel free to customize further, for example you might want rush shipping options, a different case etc. I've chosen the best bang/buck CPU and graphics card for high-end gaming, along with a great power supply, SSD boot drive and great 1TB data drive.

For a monitor I recommend visiting your local Best Buy store... it's always helpful to SEE monitors in person... purchasing online you can't tell if you like the brightness, color saturation, etc of different models. And little things like whether you prefer a glossy or matte finish on the frame, how much glare you get from the LCD panel itself.
Anyway you can find a nice 21-23" monitor with 1920x1080 resolution (full HD) for $150-$250.
These are just examples, as i said you'll want to see them in person.
