It is up to you Thiago, but I am sure you can do much better than $680. Check around.

Michael, I know it sounds crazy, but the resolution of Max Resolution: 2560 x 1440, do you think it make things more clear and almost real? or do you think the ACER does the same job for FSX?
My PC aspects are:

WIN7 64x, Intel Core i7-2600K @3.70GHZ, 8GB RAM. Vid Card AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series x 2 .

I gave my other PC info before.

Thanks guys.

I just bought a 32" Samsung LED TV for about half of that and was using it as a monitor on my FS machine for kicks and giggles and it worked great at 1920 x 1280. Even better, it has wifi so I can take it elsewhere in the house and use it with Netflix, Samsung apps, etc.

Travor, do you have link from where you purchased? My friend was saying the same thing for cheap prices of the LCD Monitors.

The problem with those resolutions is you won't even be able to run fsx at half your current settings, if anything you should just get a larger 32 like suggested above.

Higher resolution = more work load.

That is why for example a gtx 580 on bf3 may pull on avg 60fps on max settings on a 1920x1080 and on the 2560 it will only do around 30 on a good day. Even though that is a GPU example it will carry over to fsx.

Looks good, and is LG which means it has a better chance of being more reliable. It is the normal 1080P 60Hz refresh and 1920x1080 and has HDMI ect. Thats about how much i paid for mine chances are mine is just a couple models older with minor changes.
