CRT's are still way better than LCD's

its dire.

LOL who cares about the Hz when you have 6 feet more space available on your desk.

isn't the human eye only meant to be able to see at 60-70hz kind of range above that it can;t really tell?

oh and why not just by one of the 100hz lcd?

best of both high refresh and no annoying flicker.

actually, anything above about 44hz looks smooth to the eye

and you can see 150+hz can you?

so lol.

Actually, I can without any problems recognize the difference between 85hz and 100hz on my current CRT (100 being much much better of course). But I have no doubt that I will not have a problem with 60hz on NEC LCD...it is different technology after all.And 60fps is quite sufficient for nice gaming (although again, I can see the difference between 60 and 100, 100 being much better again).

Isn;t that more because f the "flicker" on CRT's without that it much harder to tell.

steve-h · 17 Feb 2009 at 10:47

i dunno about 100hz but i can certainly tell the difference between 85 and 150

tried playing css @ 1280x1024 85hz and it wasn't brilliant... im used to playing @ 640 150hz

lol i love these deluded people who actually believe they can play better with lower resolutions.

less visability = easier kills?

Exactly. No it doesnt.

Actually...your wrong there sort of.

It was easier in games like Counter-strike to play in a lower resolution....to some people anyway.

It was 'easier' to aim at the people heads so to speak.

lower resolution = more hz... actually

smaller resolutions feel much more responsive too... even with the same hz
