gaming with an lcd
 

i finally got my lcd monitor, its a lg flatron http://content.pricematrix.ru/images/L1730P-c.jpg
i love it but im a bit disappointed with it in terms of gaming. it has a 12ms response time, but for an extra $50 i could have gotten a samsung with a 8ms response time. would the 4ms gap make that much of a visual difference?

Well if your doubting it, why not send it back get ur money back and buy the samsung..

because theres a possibility this problem will always occur even with the fastest response time. if its going to make a minimal difference by switching, then its not worth my $50

Most response time ratings are bullshit.

That Samsung actually runs closer to 12ms.



Anything under 16ms will be 'ghost-free' to most peoples' eyes.


What in particular are you disappointed in?

alot of blurring when im making fast movements. i guess im still adjusting to it.

I <3 my 20 inch Cimema Display.

My LCD seems fine to me so far.

I've been using a Samsung SyncMaster 150MP for about 4 years and it works great as far as I'm conserened. I also love the picture in picture feature. Porn squared.

SOrry to steal your thunder here anti, but im looking for a good TV to play my PS2 games on, preferably a flat screen one with widescreen capabilities at a good price. ANyone have any suggestions

wait until tomorrow and I can give you the name of my other 20 inch monitor. its like 500 bucks now I think.

Alright, cuase im thinking ofgetting the new xbox when that comes out, working at best buy has advantages. And the games will be in high def, so i wnat a high def tv/ monitor.

Im on a Samsung SyncMaster 930B [url:2ea93]http://www.epinions.com/SAMSUNG_SyncMaster_19_TFT_LCD_Flat_Panel_Monitor_9 30B/display_~full_specs[/url:2ea93]

and I love it, no problems with gaming at all, plus MagicTune is awsome, having preset moniter brightness for gaming, internet, reading, ect, ect.
pick one up, I highly recommend it. you will love to game on it.

and if you buy it at bestbuy or those kinds of stores, dont get the service plan. plus they want like $150 for it

Would a flat screen 19' monitor not have done as well ??? Performed better.. looked better..etc etc etc..MUch cheaper...My Dell/Sony Trinitron has given me years of great service and has the exact same feature jibber was talking about (i have presets for it aka "video", "gaming/graphic", "standard", low Intensity(reading)... etc.

Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen

Amazing monitor. Me and Himmler (I think) have them.

If you're patient you can pick one up on sale for under $400.
