Hey guys i posted a while back about the 930bf and how i wanted 1. Right ive got some cash saved up and going to buy a screen but i need help deciding.

I use my pc for Web browsing and gaming. Now im not an avid gamer but do play games a fair bit, FPS, RF online, Rts. I know the 930bf will suit me down to the ground but was wondering if i could get away with a bit of a cheaper model.

Samsung SM-930BF
Samsung SM-913N

these are the only 2 i know about but what other screens would suit my needs with no ghosting in games? like i said dont care about dvd play back as i got a tv for that

Can anyone with the Samsung SM-913N comment on it please with there experience with gaming as i would hate to spend £200 and be pee'd off

I dont know much about LCD but as far as i know there is a few problems u can get? Dead pixels, Ghosting and light bleed? i think thats right
 
ok cheers guys i shall whip 1 up monday :D


On a different note my mate just bought himself a xbox 360 and wants to buy a 19" widesceen for it, now the screen will only be used on the 360 as he has no pc. I haven't a clue what will be needed or if u can plug a lcd monitor straight into the 360? He wants to spend around £200 so i guess its out of the following:

Viewsonic VA1912W 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black/Silver (MO-047-VS)

and

Acer AL1916W 19" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black/Silver (MO-012-AC)

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me which would be best and also what if any extra leads he will need

Cheers

em not to sure but i know u can buy a vga adaptor

Taken from the console section

Q: Which connector standard is best then?

A: Here is a list of the available connector types, in rank order, the best quality at the bottom, the worst at the top. Remember, the differences may be only small, and some not noticable on how good/bad your TV is:

Composite (Yellow Single Connector)
S-Video (Not a massive jump in quality, but can be sharper picture)
RGB SCART (A better picture again)
Component HD / VGA HD (a big jump in quality, as there's a lot more on the screen)

Also please note that the Xbox 360 renders everything in 720p, and then scales up/down accordingly based on what your TV output is.


Any help?
 
Some more questions about a tft ( i r a tft noob :P )

from what ive been reading i will want to set my refresh rate to 60 is this right?

With my crt i have vsync off, with a tft do i need it on or off?

Does the 913n have tilt? and am i right in thinking it doesn't have hight adjustment?
 
Cheers guys you've been really helpful over last couple days :) just need to get in town tomorrow to put money in the bank then i can order.

About vsync... i cant see myself noticing the difference between 60fps and higher so i will try with it on, if my pc dont push out at 60fps will that have an adverse effect? tearing etc?
