No, 24" is the largest you want for a 1080 PC monitor. The image is going to be very grainy because the pixels are so large.

Should be fine for XBox S.

Framerate of those games doesn't exceed 60 at best.

If you're a huge nerd like Scab that has a gaming PC capable of 120+ FPS, then a 144hz monitor is useful.

If you work out the math, it's basically $250k - $300k less than what his AAV works out to as his cap hit going forward, assuming no egregious signing bonus in year 1.

Assuming a 6 year deal and ignoring Year 1, his AAV and Cap hit in years 2+ would be:

$6.5m: $6.18m
$6.75m: $6.42m
$6.9m: $6.56m
$7m: $6.66m
$7.25m: $6.89m
$7.5m: $7.13m

That's if he signed today. If he signs on Saturday, those values vary at around $20 - $30k.

I still believe he bridges 2-3 years at 4.5 - 5.5 annual

at this point we should be focussing on the important facts .. not speculation

1) is WN really in Toronto?
2) did he get off the plane holding his father's hand?
3) was the limo driver that met him carrying a Carolina or St. Louis jersey?
4) has anyone checked his flight itineraries ... for destinations?
5) has someone hacked WN cell phone... so we know where he is at all times?
6) has Dubas' phone been hacked - so we know who's calling him?

and most importantly - has WN been traded yet?


- BorjeFan4Ever


Probably most importantly:

7) Was he plied with liquor on the plane?

BINGO!

Then you kill the overall picture quality.

Either way you lose.

Then again, it depends how far you are sitting from it. You won't notice so much if you're at a distance, but if it's on a desk scenario it might be intolerable.

I made a quick and simple model in Excel (because that's the type of nerd I am . . you know, when you're qualifying types of nerds).

2 years:

4.5 AAV: 3.79
5 AAV: 4.21
5.5 AAV: 4.63

3 years:

4.5: 4.02
5: 4.47
5.5: 4.92

He becomes eminently affordable on a bridge. But if he performs very well, his next contract could warrant a trade. If the Leafs bridge, I think 3 years is where they go, and probably @ 5.

I still think it's in both of their interests to settle in at 6*6.75. Nylander gains insurance in case anything bad happens, the Leafs gain insurance against the cap . . . And Nylander walks out of that contract a UFA.

It's included in the trade.. Dubas and the Leafs are sending Nylander and a limo to Carolina for Pesce and Ferland.

Gaming is secondary for me, but this monitor does a fantastic job of it. Plus it's excellent for productivity use.

Gaming monitors are useless for me because they trade high frame rates for image quality. That's a no go for me.

$500+...I'm not spending that kind of dough.

Spent big on my 52" XBR9 and my Samsung 64" f8500 plasma...top end tv's and these guys with 24" monitors see things way before I do.



I'll check out some 24" for $200 or less.
