(CRT! The lcd/plasma ones have LOWER resolutions usually!)<br /> <br /> Fun times. text/html 2005-04-19T08:42:24-05:00 Craven Moorehead http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266895 CRT all the man Lcd is for wannabe gamers if your a hardcore gamer and not a nub get a CRT ! like a 22inch so you have the advatage sniping off head shots you will love it. LCD is too much money and really low refresh rates are common on LCDs . Save time save energy get CRT for gaming. LCDs are lame in every aspect of gaming ask any pro theyll tell you. But you would some people say , lcds technology is improving blahh blah blah, they are just saying that cause they want your money or they ar just too weak to carry a CRT LOL! text/html 2005-04-19T08:42:23-05:00 Craven Moorehead http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266894 CRT all the man Lcd is for wannabe gamers if your a hardcore gamer and not a nub get a CRT ! like a 22inch so you have the advatage sniping off head shots you will love it.

As for the price of LCD's I totally agree they are way over priced and is the only reason why I haven't upgraded to an LCD.<br /> text/html 2005-04-19T06:27:27-05:00 phil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266880 true.. and as it is, a crt is still &gt;4 times faster than even a 4ms lcd.. however, there is more to gaming than performance.. how about enjoyablity .. i (an i know OCGW) enjoy a good relaxed game.. lazy-boy style, with a cold beer and a fun time.. how many CRT's fit in the decor of your rec. room or living room? ..i spend most of my gaming down stairs behind the bar playing on my sharp lcd's, or apple cinima's.. and i know, there isn't a CRT that would fit that job discription... so as it is.. CRT's may be a misleading &gt;4 times faster.. there functionality beyond that is dismal.. <br /> <br /> so i suppose you should look at that aspect before you buy also <img src="/images/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> no? text/html 2005-04-19T06:24:01-05:00 Brian Stewart http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266879 If you read, that 4ms monitor is actually 5 ms.<br /> <br /> And A lot of these refsponse times are misleading - they're SUPPOSED to measure time to close and open again. A lot of the time the stated response times are just to close OR open, making the true response time double that.<br /> <br /> Even so, a 10 ms response time gives 100 Hz, which is an improvement. Because of the nature of LCD displays (the way the light is physically displayed and such, I explained this in great detail in an earlier thread) 60 Hz on an crt looks better than 60 Hz on an lcd. 100 Hz on an LCD is good though. If that monitor really has a 5 ms response time, that's 200 Hz, and that should be more than good enough to eliminate ghosting trailing, etc.<br /> <br /> Now if they could just get the resolution up and the price down.<br /> <br /> Also, am I the only one who wants to see 36 bit color displays? With 32 bit color, we get 8 bits for each r g and b (8 for alpha, never used)<br /> 36 bits would give us 9 for each (8 times the color, double the transparency, never used) or 12 bits per color, 4096 times as many colors.<br /> Oh well. I guess 32 bit color (24 actual) is good enough for most people.<br /> 32 bit color is great, but it's not perfect. It's a failure for skintone and metals and such. text/html 2005-04-19T06:14:44-05:00 IRON MAN http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266877 Perhaps, but no matter how you slice it, an LCD still does not compare to a CRT, expecially for gaming. For one thing, they do not have a phosphor screen, which provides better light intensity without compromising contrast. I hope you enjoy the one you bought. But it's just a fact. The same is true of digital photography. A digital camera pales in comparison to an emulsion image in resolution... as of this time anyway. In time, digital photography, and flat displays as well, may equal the older technology. text/html 2005-04-19T06:12:38-05:00 john jones http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266875 I don't think there that far away from competing with a CRT,a CRT has a respose time of under 1ms and the newest LCD's coming out will be 4ms so it's not that big of a gap.I can't see people haveing any ghosting with a quality LCD anyway. text/html 2005-04-19T06:07:20-05:00 phil http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266874 iron man.. that's what jones. posted.. 4ms, is the 'refresh rate' advertised.. now it may not actually be 4ms.. but so far its a excellent lcd with little pixel lag text/html 2005-04-19T05:17:39-05:00 IRON MAN http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#266861 LCD and type of monitor is at least several years from being able to compete with the image quality of a .22 CRT monitor. Perhaps in time. They are not there yet. The biggest downfall is the LCD's &quot;pixel lag&quot; or &quot;pixel trail&quot; effect. It's bad at this time. Therey have a long way to go to get LCD to catch up to CRT. text/html 2005-04-15T22:44:49-05:00 OCGW http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#265768 I am a &quot;die hard&quot; crt man<br /> <br /> But it looks like LCD's have &quot;arrived&quot;<br /> <br /> OCGW<br /> <br /> PEACE text/html 2005-04-15T07:09:08-05:00 john jones http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#265476 Hey guys check out this a 4ms LCD, perfect for gaming!<br /> <br /> <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000087036297/" target="_blank">http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000087036297/</a> text/html 2005-04-14T20:40:47-05:00 Tony Ford http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/39551/?o=20#265323 Sorry for the confusion on the specs. At that time, I was referring to the L90D and didn't realize there was a L90D+ model. I ended up purchasing the L90D+ and really enjoy it. I play Raven Shield (Rainbow Six 3) on it all the time with no ghosting at all. I'm impressed!
