LCD Monitors...

[TunaSoda]

Anyone have an LCD monitor 19" or bigger that is great for games?

I like crt's best, I just wanted to get some opinions...

Is 8ms really good enough?

I have the Dell 2405FPW 12ms being delivered Thursday...
I think it will do excellent, but cost $899

That looks nice too, have not read any review on it tho...
but the $300 more for 3 more inches sold me on the Dell...

What happened to your dual 2005's?

I have a 2405FPW and it rocks
Some minor ghosting, but only if your looking for it. Great monitor.

I reconsidered... Decided if I another screen, I will just add a spare CRT 21" to it later.

Try NEC 1970GX. I got it and it´s great for every game I throw at it. The THG gave it a bad review but mostly because it was too expensive at the time (more than $ 550). I got mine 3 weeks ago for $485 shipped and I am very happy with it. Very fast, bright, great DVI, there´s even a USB hub with 4 ports. Good materials, ergonomics and did I mention it´s very fast?

i dont know why, but i still havent jumped on the LCD bandwagon. I just dont feel they are of a high enough quality for games yet. Maybe in a year or two i'll join alll you guys, but at the moment im sticking with my 21" CRT (Samsung SM1100DF 21ins FST 0.20dpi ), much better value than any LCD and NO ghosting, and i can use whatever resolution i like.
LCD maybe the future, but im still stuck in the past

Hey quantumsheep, don't feel bad about being stuck in the past. I'm still CRT all the way. If it were just gaming, it might not be so bad. But the one thing that every LCD I've looked at sucks at, is crisp text. As a software engineer and (attempting to be) fantasy/sci-fi author, I look at an awful lot of text. Blurred characters just drive me crazy. So I'll take a good CRT any day of the week, even if it does barely fit on my desk. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I do a lot of writing myself, as a translator/journalist, and have had a ViewSonic VP930b for about 2 months now. I have no issues of blurry text with it. The reclaimed desk space and image quality among other things ensure I'll never go back to CRT.

My 2405FPW better not have blurry text, that is one reason I want LCD!
