LCD & Gaming

[Ropy]

Does anyone here game on LCD monitors?

If you do:

1. What type of monitor do you have?
2. What types of games have you played?
3. Is the experience any different from playing on a standard CRT?
4. Do you have a problem with ghosting.

I you don't:

1. What are your views on the subject?

I have a CRT at home and most of my gaming is done on CRT monitors but I have played games on friends LCD monitors

I say that the problem of ghosting is almost doesn't exist anymore from my experience and should not be a problem if you have a newer model LCD

1. my laptop lcd

2. flightsimulaters, c-strike, racing games, strategy games..

3. compared to my desktop, everything is much sharper

4. no

my view: no LCD no care

look the main diffrence right now is refresh rates when u use v sync

crt produce a smoother experience and bette frame rate


but plz remember the optimal frame rate is 85hz for gaming anything higher is a plus

so u want liquid smooth frame rates newer lcds are becoming impressive and its about time!!!!!

but for now if u have a 19" or like me a 21" and have refreshes over 100hz lcds are kinda unwanted..... with refresh rates and resolutions so low

I'm contemplating whether or not I should get the ViewSonic VX2025WM.

[Genesis2kx]

I've played on friend's.
1. 17 inch err...Can't remember brand off hand.
2. WoW, FABLE, prince of persia, cs, oblivion and more.
3. I actuallly like how the LCD looks More sharper as don said.
4. no ghosting

Go GET a nice 19 inch one!

Why 19" and not 20.1"? The ViewSonic VX2025WM has a better rating than all the 19" I've seen so far.

The ViewSonic VX922 seems decent but it has some probs.

What probs does the vx922 have Ropy?? cuz its what i beating...... i havent turned it on cuz its in my bag now... will test it Friday and tell u exactly how it feels.

I just like the idea of it being one of the 2ms monitors

1. Princeton Graphic Systems LCD 17D - 17 inch (Kinda feeling small now)
2. GTA San Andreas, FIFA 2006 WC, Quake 4, Need for Speed Most Wanted
3. To me the images are sharper
4. No problem with ghosting.

I heard the pixel pitch of 0.294 gives the screen a graft sheet effect. Also, DVD playback isn't so wonderful and it has a problem displaying grays. According to Cnet it's a very good gaming LCD, but that's about it. My only gripe with the VX2025wm is that the colors are a bit washed out compared to other LCDs as seen here. From what I read it can be tweaked, somewhat.
