Ok i think im gonna go for a lcd, it seems the next gen monitors such as oled are not going to be released for ages, and hopefuly the ones out now are lag free in the way of ghosting.
Will be using it for fast paced games, surfing.. basically everything
Will either go for a 20" or 22", currently have a what seems to be in between 19-20" CRT.
Posted before but didnt know what to get, if better ones are around the corner with no ghosting visible then is it worth waiting?.
Also heard that a 22" has the same native resolution as a 20", does that make it look worse?.
also if i got one of these does it mean i would have to run it at native res if i dont would things look bad?, because the native res of my monitor is 1600 x 1200 i believe.. and i usually run at 1024 x 768 which looks fine to me on my crt. My sister got a 19" Acer a couple of years ago and when she used it at a lower resolution, stuff looked kinda pixellated and not right so she went back to a 17" and it was fine, is this normal on a lcd? i found it odd. Because i play some games in the internet browser now and again also, and if the monitor needs to be run at high res to look good then i wont be able to play flash videos/browser games as it will look like crap.
I dont know if i can get a good one for about £200.
Suggestions please, and hopefuly someone can answer those questions for me
it would make me feel better.
thanks.
Samsung SM-245B 24" Widescreen <- whats that like for games?. Seems good, how would it compare to 22" 2ms screens though?.
