neither. CRT's are still the best for gaming. The only question is can u put up with the size and weight.

thanks , I understand about CRT is best for game, I just
don't want to put a stove on my little desk 8O , I am looking
for a decent 21" LCD to play games , it does not have to
be the best, any URL would be appreciate. thaks

The Samsung is a bit cheaper, has the same specs and a 3 year warranty vs only 1 year on the gateway.

CRT's have better color reproduction, better refresh rates, better resolutions and lower latency.

However they are very big, heavy, emit dangerous radiation, consume a lot of power, produce a lot of heat and their images are never geometrically perfect.

LCDs ARE geometrically perfect [ a straight line really is a straight line], emit no dangerous radiation, greatly reduce or eliminate eye fatigue, consume much less power, generate much less heat, weigh less, are smaller and more portable.

Also the non-widescreen version of the Samsung has a higher resolution ( 1600x1200 ).

The standard res is 1920x1440.

Some high end 21" CRTs can do 1920x1440 or 2048x1536.

However a 21" Samsung LCD can do 1600x1200 which is pretty close without any of the problems CRTs have.

Overall LCDs are better in my opinion.
