Hi,

Does OC still sell the good old CRT monitors (19inch)?
I am a hardcore fps gamer and do not want to go tft.
Thanks

Thanks for the advice there, I will look into it
I have got a Iiyama 19 incher (Vision Master Pro 454 HM903DT) and its just brilliant on 1280 by 1024@100Hz, woulnt want to miss it for the world

Buying a used CRT monitor that's had a few thousand hours usage is a bit of questionable decision. I know for CRT front projectors you can replace everything (new tubes)

Yeah I agree, I need to get a screen new somewhere, dont want an old banger

Well if I really want to come close to the performance of my CRT I would have to get a TN panel. And even though they are quick they dont look better then a CRT imo and the viewing angle is quite bad.

Technically speaking TFT's can never be better then CRT in FPS games I was told because of refresh rate limitations but the real problem here is that I have seen quite a few proper TFT screens and they just dont look better in games. It very well may be the fact that it takes time to get used to a different screen I dont know
