What do 1080p monitors go for these days? The cheapest one that I could find on Newegg was 129.99.
I need a good monitor to play these games in 1080p after all, and I would also like to play more modern games in high quality as well. 07-11-2013, 06:51 AM
Here are some links to good monitors on newegg in the $100-200 price range that are 1080p capable:

The very first asus monitor has passive stereoscopic 3D capabilities (line interleaved). But it's more expensive than the others and I don't know how much, if at all, you care about 3D. The BenQ will provide by far the best contrast ratio and deepest blacks but will be worse in every other way. Poorer viewing angles, gamma uniformity, color accuracy, and response times (motion blur) compared to the IPS panels. I need to know what specs are the most important to you. How is the lighting in your room? Is it prone to reflections? How important is stand adjustment to you? They're all 23" or 24" and I think that quite frankly you'll be happy with any of them. The asus monitors are matte, the benq is semi-glossy/mild matte, and the dell and acer are very glossy. I think all of the IPS monitors are e-IPS (which would make sense given the price range) and likely use cheaper 6 bit panels. I need more time to check and make sure.

I'll buy one that's 200$ when I can, but for now it looks like I'll have to stick with a smaller monitor.

You still need to answer some of my questions before I can make a recommendation.

Computer's up and running, but I need drivers in order to play anything. That's a problem; the Ethernet cables I bought are still on order, and thus I have no internet access. I copied the install wizards onto a USB and I tried to run them on my computer. I ran the C++ Redistributable no problem, but the Direct X Runtime and the drivers for my Xbox360 controller all needs internet access to run. How can I install the drivers without internet access?

You either need to use the cd that came with the product or another computer with internet access.

Just tried the discs that came with the products, no dice. I found nothing of use on the motherboard disc, and the video card disc wouldn't let me install without internet. It also won't let me click on "Install Direct x 9" on the menu.
The way I've been able to install important applications such as the C++ package and Microsoft Security Essentials (and Cave Story Deluxe, haha) is by downloading them off of the internet on my laptop, putting them on the USB and then installing them onto my PC. 08-06-2013, 09:47 AM

That's what you're supposed to do. Now just do that with everything else. Get the offline version of the installer.

Thanks for helping me out with my Dolphin PC over the last few years. I actually am looking to update my PC again this summer. These are my specs. Here are the things that I want to do now:
Dump frames from Dolphin, without any lag. Have a great enough video card to render videos quickly, as I want to post Melee and Smash 4 videos in HD. I also want to stream both games. Get a new, large SSD to store all of my system files. Get a new HDD to store my Steam games, ISOs, and other games. I have around 200 GBs of isos, which is really slowing down my computer. Lots of USB 3.0 ports. I would like to see what I need to accomplish all of these things, and I don't have a price cap as of yet. However, I am definitely going to replace some parts, like my 250$ graphics card for instance. Is there any way that I can get refunded for my parts, so that I can get at least some money back? How much money I can sell my components for will determine by budget for this project. ![[Image: himanattsu_gameplay.png]](http://api.overwolf.com/users/Signature/himanattsu_gameplay.png) ![[Image: xrrpri-4.png]](http://valid.canardpc.com/cache/banner/xrrpri-4.png)
