    Azza was talking to them and they said they do have a deal with sony and we cant use them on xbox. He said we could use our own monitors though.

    Does this mean we couldn't use them for Wiis/Gamecubes either?

    This monitor was recommended on SRK http://www.elara.ie/products/detailsfull.asp?productcode=ECE1660698&productID=S6024172
    €199.65 inc vat.
    Its 22", supports HDMI and VGA and has built in speakers.
    Might be an option, add one of these and you've a nice portable setup.

    Sweet, built in speakers is a must I think even if they arent so hot. The walkers have **** speakers already anyway.

    Viewsonic have a new monitor out I think with 1ms delay. Fastest there is as far as I know. Might be worth investing in the best of the best.

    Also, I'm not sure , but do projectors suffer the same delay issues? A projector would be a nice alternative to a screen. Add to the epicness and what not. Usually pretty easy to find a big blank wall.

    Projectors suffer from MASSIVE display lag, I can tell you that from my Rock Band/Guitar Hero experience. You're talking about 200/300 ms average. Although that was a few years ago, so maybe they've come along some what.

    I can only imagine that costing a fortune - No real need for that extra 1ms down from 2ms, in all reality.

    .. and yeah projectors are only really for specs, they're not very playable on any game.

    They're still all too laggy to play on, especially fighting games. :p

    Nope, no they're not.

    If you get a projector that supports the native resolution of an xbox or PS3, you'll have feck all lag.

    Any projector that supports 480p and above will pretty much match a similar spec'd flat panel.

    720 and above will have fook all lag, and as with anything, the more you spend, the better the specs and less lag you'll get.

    Agreed, you won't get one for €200,

    But how many people can watch a final on a 22' monitor for €190 at a tourney vs a 100' plus projection onto a wall from a €600 projector?

    I'd say the ratios work out in favour of a projector. And as someone who's strained to see what's going on in a final due to a huge crowd looking at it, a 22' monitor is a waste of money.

    My point is don't rule out projectors due to cost.

    The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, comrade.

    Well, I think the essentials should be bought, first. Something that will add to the experience of an event:
