I am running at native 1920 x 1200 with nearly every game. I have the MMO 'The Secret World' at 1680 x 1050 because the text is small. Lower than native looks fine - in fact the slightly lower definition helps disguise the BLUR. This is mostly on an i7 at 4500 Ghz with GeForce GTX 770 I was using the Dell 20" CRT on my older machine Q9950 at 3500 Ghz with an HD 5870 Within a week of getting the Benq Monitor the CRT flickered scarily , picture collapsed to a single line & clicked...the characteristic smell of burning electronics left no doubt it had 'gone' so I'm not able to compare the LED & CRT . So for that Machine I now also got a NEC Monitor-E223W 22" 16 x 10 (must be 16 x 10 ;) That's a fairly typical 5ms LED. Blur level seems much the same on the Benq & the NEC. Its almost certainly a lot re. my inexperience with LED Monitors after CRT's & the extra screen size & clarity showing things I was not aware of before. I can mostly forget Blur-awareness when playing . And its less noticeable after I've been playing an hour or two. Its the wide open world games that Blur seems most noticeable. Strange, because I've always thought I am lucky in not being that bothered re. graphics. e.g. I played a lot of Deus Ex :HR on an P4 - AGP -1024 x 768 with around 18 to 25 FPS - (put a frame limiter on at 18 fps to get consistency) & still was happy enough to get into the game. Its all very subjective & most people who have been using LED for years would think mine just fine. @@@Mouse@@@
