Partially yes, and the reason why he is not playing at his native resolution is (likely I'm guessing) that 1920x1200 puts quite a strain on a GPU, so you need some serious graphic horsepower to play the latest and greatest titles at reasonable frame rates. 1920x1200 is my preferred work and reading resolution on a single monitor but gaming on it is counter productive, IMO. A lot of cutting edge titles barely make it at 1280x1024 even on my GTX690. Playing them at 1920x1200 at a 60hz refresh rate would be absolute misery for me too. >From what I can tell Trimble the BL2411PT is an awesome monitor designed for business use. Keep it for business but get a gaming monitor for gaming. Trust me when I say they are completely different types of hardware.
