I has 22" Samsung 226BW and loving it thnx.

Same, nothing compared to a CRT though :/.

Well, gaming wise, for everything else I think we can all agree it's fucking awesome.

gaming being just quake? :)

Yes.

Well no, it can't do 120hz, but I'm getting used to the 60hz and honestly quake was the only real game that I honestly took advantage of such a high refresh rate. And yes, everything else on it is just teh sh1t.

i can't believe you guys are trying to convince yourself that these new monitors you're all getting are better even tho you have to run them at 60-75hz. Gaming really must be on the decline.

Haha.

The blur from LCD's make it look like 60hz is smooth and you can't even see tearing.

CRT's 4 LYFE

I didn't say they were really 'better' for gaming. Honestly I would be happy with my CRT, but there are a few things that make having an LCD (especially with 2ms gtg) nice. For instance the readability of EVERYTHING is just way better. There's no CRT in existence that can really match an LCD in that respect. It's the same for color vibrance and overall clarity of any picture. Now yes, 60hz for gaming really does kind of blow, but honestly it only really really really blows if you're used to playing with 120hz, which I am. I love 120hz on my CRT and I wish my LCD would do 120hz. Honestly though, 60hz on an LCD doesn't make my eyes bleed like 60hz on a CRT does. Hell I can barely look at IE @ 60hz on a CRT. But like I said before, after about a month or so @ 60hz on an LCD I'm getting used to it. The only thing that I have really suffered from as far as gaming on this LCD is I've lost like 5% accuracy with my LG overall. Anything else I haven't had any other issues. That and if I were to go to a tourney right now, I'd be forced to use an LCD so technically I would be ahead since I'm used to them now. But if they made me use a CRT I'd be that much better off because it would be smoother than what I'm used to now.

And no, there's no blur on my LCD because it actually really truely does 2ms GTG. Just looks like my CRT on a slightly less murderous 60hz with overall visual quality way better than my CRT could actually muster.

Call me whatever you want, but moving to an LCD made sense to me for space reasons, saving power, the functionality of having widescreen, and finally finding an LCD that doesn't really suck for gaming. You might not be happy with my choice, but honestly, I don't give a shit. You might still be able to kick my ass in a game of Q3, but it won't be because of my monitor.

what CRT were you using before?

19" NEC Diamondtron. I also have a 21" Sony Trinitron that I use for LAN parties. The 19" is now used by my girlfriend as she didn't have a decent gaming computer before.

lcd? Oh lawd.

You're gonna love that 16ms response time on that 24", aren't ya?

My non-fps-playing brother on lcd, "it fries my eyes".

Maybe he's using Analog connection on his LCD? If so does it fry his eyes when using a DVI connection instead?

uhm dno, probably whatever is optimal; he's always fine-tuning everything x)

i have that one at work; owns :)
