Elekko Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hey, It is soon my birthday and I have actually something that I wish to get. Now, I either want a flat TFT screen for my computer (my old one is CRT 19" and takes lots of space and makes my eyes tired when I work on my projects) or a DS Lite. But the thing is that I cannot decide! Which one should be a better one? I want a DS because of the games and entertaiment and I want a new screen for more comfortable and "sexy" desk.... ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hm, tough call. Flatscreen monitors will lose their WOW, SO NEW feeling l a few weeks after your birthday, whereas the DS Lite would be kept constantly fresh with all manner of exciting games. So I vote the DS Lite.

Eenuh Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Tough one indeed. I'd say go for the most expensive thing so it's easier to save up money for the other thing... but if they're both about the same price, then just go for a Lite I guess.

mike-zim Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 well if you already have a DS then i would say the monitor although i have a DS and a lite and the lite is about 5 times better imo. but i also had a normal monitor then i got a new pc with a TFT and the TFT was about 10 times better so i say TFT if you already have a DS but if you dont then lite wins hands down.

AshMat Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 DS Lite, youll get so much more from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Hmmm... It depends. I have both a 19" Widescreen TFT monitor and a DS Lite. I gotta say, i'm at my PC more than i play my DS Lite. So i'd say the monitor. You can get mine for like £125 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'd say monitor, i have a original DS and and big bulky CRT monitor...if i had the option id go for the monitor, i hardly play my DS much any more so it would have to be that. I will have this same decision in October as my Tv/monitor sucks bad but the cash for the Wii or the Wii itself will win hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin von Snikbah Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Get the cool LCD-screen. A DS Lite is very affordable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girly hiyaz!~ Gamer Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Get a lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Why does it make your eyes tired? Try reducing the brightness or the contrast if the settings are too high, or even change the resolution and maximize the Hz. Low Hz in CRT's sometimes can make the eyes tired very easily. Put the Hz at the highest setting your monitor can handle. If this works, then you can get a Lite and change to a TFT later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutt Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'd say get the screen, but *Only* because a DS Lite would be more affordable and the screen is probaby more expensive anyway. Again if it wasn't for that I'd say DS hands down! Although it's entirely upto you really. Depends which you'd rather have sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmellow Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 get the monitor, for the ds you have to buy games, monitor, all you need is a computer, which you already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielTimothy Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 First off, do you have an original DS? It sounds like you don't. Now there's a sexier system and a decent library of games for I'd say go for the lite. Consider what games are out for it and how much your projects are suffering due to your bulky monitor still.

No I don't have a DS, only GBA SP as portable. Basically my projects are just left for "later" as I think, bah I'll do it then. Maybe it has to do with tired eyes? Anyway... I use 1600x1200 @ 75 Hz... I need that big resolution for working.. but but.. Now it seems like a 50-50... you guys made me undecidable. I'll need to think little more. Which one is that? Yeah, that's what I wonder too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
