My laptop has 2 8600gt in Sli ..
Lemme knw the reasons for either of them..
think of my desktop as one ancient junk with FX5200 Gfx or some onboard gfx and Pentium D 2.8ghz - cnt tell u da exact config as i dnt knw it myself |
The E248WFP support Full HD (1080p); so the buy is definitely justified when u go for this entry level 24incher worth 20k (inc. of shipping).
And since u connect it to consoles as well, its certainly a good buy.
Whereas, the SP2208WFP supports 720p HD, its a good buy when u intend to watch 720p X264 rips and play games more often; it has got a CR of 2000:1 and an HDMI port as well; hence connectivity to ur console is much easier (whereas for the E248WFP, u'll need a HDMI-to-DVI connector).
The FX5200 is a very outdated card and it will not support HDCP. Period. So I guess HD is out of question???
Moreover I believe ur laptop has a VGA o/p (unlikely to have a DVI o/p unless it has a pwrful gfx onboard);
Anyhow I'd suggest u to buy a SP2208WFP; It should compliment ur console pretty much.
