Only UC2 and KZ3 look better than Crysis 2 for consoles IMO. By the end of the year I feel Uncharted 3, Rage, Battlefield 3, and maybe Gears 3 and Resistance 3 will look the best on Consoles.

Frankly all these coming games look very dated comparing to Crysis 2, especially Uncharted 3

Crysis 2 destroys them all visually, there is no contest

Eurogamer:
"But it is a world whose intricacy and realism will cause you to stop and stare long after the first drop of the jaw. The sway of tree-tops; the spray of a decorative fountain; the flames erupting from a burst gas pipe: incidental details that grab your attention for their quiet, shocking realism. Who knows how Crytek managed to squeeze Cry Engine 3 onto the consoles while maintaining such extraordinary level of detail? But this world sits next to Uncharted 2's as the most detailed and well-expressed yet seen on our TVs."

XXLGaming:"The games visuals were just jaw dropping and I have to agree when Crytek says it is setting the bar in console gaming graphics. Just wow."

joystiq: Though about the millionth FPS built around a plot of an alien invasion, give or take a few, it's also the most beautiful.
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/22/crysis-2-review/

destructoid: Naturally, the gameplay is all wrapped up with some of the most gorgeous visuals you'll see in a videogame.
http://www.destructoid.com/review-crysis-2-196986.phtml

gameinformer: Crytek wisely sticks to the traits that made the first game successful while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of graphical fidelity.

1up: Crysis 2 is just as visually impressive as its predecessor, even on PS3 and 360.
http://www.1up.com/reviews/crysis-2-review

gamezone: The game looks utterly stunning and is arguably one of the best-looking shooters on consoles. I'm still undecided whether Crysis 2 looks better than the original game, but the fact that there is a discussion about which looks better speaks volumes on what Crytek was able to accomplish with their engine.
http://xbox.gamezone.com/reviews/item/crysis_2/

videogamer: It might come up slightly short compared to Killzone 3 in raw mettle, with an occasionally inconsistent framerate on our PS3 version, but the game is leagues ahead in terms of artistic accomplishment.
http://www.videogamer.com/xbox360/crysis_2/review.html

strategyinformer: Crysis 2 is bloody gorgeous, and by far one of the most polished games we've ever played. Watching the cityscape come crashing down around you in all its HD glory is quite the sight, especially in some of the more open areas midway through the main campaign. Whether you've diving across rooftops or making your way into the heart of an alien hive, it's all jaw-dropping throughout.
http://www.strategyinformer.com/xbox360/crysis2/1434/review.html

gamerevolution: Somehow the team over at Crytek has found a way to make their sequel just as visually remarkable as the original and without the need to spend a fortune on a fancy new video card and extra RAM (on the console at least)

msxbox-world: Crysis may have been the benchmark game on PC but for console owners there might be a new kid on the block as Crysis 2 really is a sight to behold.

metro: Although Crysis 2 swaps an actual jungle for the urban variety, the level of near photorealism remains. Despite the impressive scale the attention to detail is second to none: from hedges that shed leaves as you run through them to the filtering of light through a half-destroyed wall. That all this is running on a middle-aged console, not a state of the art PC, only makes it more impressive.

Digitaltrends:
"Crytek manages to live up to the hype with Crysis 2, the best-looking console game ever made (except for the glitches)."

Finally, this wouldn't be a Crysis 2 review without some space dedicated to the game's graphics, would it? This is a gorgeous game, certainly one of the best-looking console titles to date

Crysis 2 for the PlayStation 3 is an exceptional shooter and perhaps the best looking game on the system.

There's little doubt that the Xbox 360 is the cleaner, crisper experience and for the most part it commands a small
but significant frame-rate advantage and fewer little glitches; especially outside of combat scenarios,
the game just seems to run that much more smoothly

Lens of Truth
Xbox 360: 29 fps
PS3: 26 fps

Xbox 360 pics

Matte finish IPS also produces amazingly vibrant colours trust me on that as I have one.

Where matter suffers is the blacks. As much as I love deep blacks, I hate glossy even more so glossy is not even an option for me be it "semi-glossy" or whatever.

The apple screen is no doubt an incredible technology but it is only worth it for what it's name suggests "cinema". If you are gonna watch movies in the dark then apple one is hands down better but for all other purposes the dell will do a much better job.

I dont know much about that samsung thing.

Gambler_3

Seems you are right, saw a video with Dell and Apple side by side and colors looked as amazing

Who told you it's not PC compatible? The thing is that it only has display port but if you have a graphics card with display port then you are good to go. Otherwise you can still use a converter but I have heard they are quite expensive taking the price well above a grand.

But there is a very serious drawback to the apple display, it is extremely glossy. WTF is the point of LED and superior blacks with a glossy screen?

This is what I would recommend you.

Gambler_3

I agree, looked spectacular in the shop, but in working conditions could be a bit too much

What about this Samsung soming in pring ? Has all specs and more subtle gloss, which would bring out the colors wihtout the big gloss feeling of Apple

I'm sure some $1000+ Dell monitor would at least match or be better. But that's subjective. I don't like them because they're glossy, but that's just me. Maybe if they made a matte/anti-glare version, I might change my mind. Just a big bright screen. A good $200-300 monitor would probably suffice. Your money, do what you want.

LovePotionNo9

I found this Samsung too, coming soon

It is nto full glossy, but semi glossy

Could be the best one i guess

there is nothing about PC that looks or does anything better than an iMac. thats just a FACT!!HailCaesarHail

Only i am making my XNA game in Windows, with corel for 2D backgrounds and art, both of which wont work in Mac

I think i fould one

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/hazro_hz27wa.htm

IPS + LED + Glossy + 27'' and all the proper connections

It is not as cool design as Apple, but hopefully will do the same job

Theglossy is very important to me since gives an extra edge to colors and vibrancy

Actually believing in god is more like someone tell you he hears music and actually no music is playing

If he keeps telling you, you may eventually believe it, but that does not mean music is playing

I think i fould one

http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/hazro_hz27wa.htm

there will be, but they'll be pretty expensive. you're looking for the combination of LED backlit LCD and IPS panel. the apple also has a glossy display. you'd probably be good with any 26" IPS, actually - most of the non-LED backlit ones are still quality, if NEC's professional models are still around. doesn't apple just sell a 27" cinema display?Makari

They do, but i think is not PC copatible, even with video cards with compatible output are not generally compatible

BTW does the glossy make a lot of difference ?
