I've used CRT monitors all my life and i never had a CRT to compare with an LCD infront of my eyes.
i used the Eizo 1910 which is pretty good monitor
what i did notice with LCD monitors is that you MUST use 1280*1024 an them
otherwise the image looks crappy and ghosty and blurry.
even the Eizo 1910 has a blurry text unless the size is right pictures arent sharp some times, i didnt play games on it so i cant tell.
movies look pretty much ok.
response time of 12ms is ok but i went for the lower values 8-3ms monitors.
after knowing that there are too much to consider when you buy an LCD kinda made me think again about waiting a few years for OLED monitos or LED backlight monitors becuase after reading here at THG about the backlighting that it has a great deal in how well the monitor will perform.
i dont have these problems with my CRT... the only problem is that its too big and that i cant use my subwoofer because the monitor begins to dance with it i mean the image also i notice the 75hz rate (1600*1200).
another problem with LCDs that will occour is that my Video card isnt too good (ATi Radeon 9500 Pro) and i cant get a 1280*1024 at all games.
now my mom want me to buy an LCD monitor
im pretty much a hardcore gamer also i use alot of image editing programs and spend alot of time reading texts on the monitor.
now i use a Samsung SyncMaster 997mb (19") like all CRT 18" viewable.
so after thinking and looking at specs i found that 19" LCDs use just
"larger" pixels 0.29x" pitch and some use 0.26x" pitch like 17"
but the fact that pixels are just larger doesnt attract me so im looking for a 17" LCD monitor.
or if you can explain me why a 19" would be better all the same models are available as a 19".
my budget is about 550$ max 600$.
from some searches on the web i came across these fellows:
17":
Nec-Mitsubishi 70GX2 / 1770NX
Samsung 760BF / 730BF / 710N,V,TN,T
Viewsonic Vx724 / Vp730 / Vp171
Eizo L551 / M1700
19":
Samsung 913N,B / 930B / 960BF
Nec-Mitsubish 90GX
Hyundai B90a
i cant decide which one to buy or if you know a better one.
Thnank you.
