i plan on buying a samsung t190. so i just wanted to ask if it's ok to get it for gaming from a crt monitor. because all of the sites that i see regarding a ''crt vs lcd'' always date back to 2004-2005. i just wanted to ask you guys what is the state of displays now. specially the model i'm planning to buy. thanks!crt vs. the lcd displays of today. are c ...
CRTs are still better, but LCDs are pretty close and are just fine for gaming.crt vs. the lcd displays of today. are c ...
LCDs are fine, plus i'll take the cons with the pros of being thin, widescreen, light etc. Save for a 20'' ;)

coz' i'm not really annoyed by the viewing angle con that lcd's have because it's a PC monitor and i stay in front of it. what bothers me is the response time and color accuracy of the lcd's specifically the monitor t190.
Check out Acer and LG as well, look around for reviews n such. Everyone will bash TN panels but they're the only ones that are affordable and they're just fine for gaming. I wouldn't consider going back to that hunk of junk CRT i used before, it was 17'' and my LCD is 20'' widescreen FTW!
i also don't want to buy a 20'' because of it's higher resolution. coz' i want my games to run as fast as possible.
then buy a ultra fast 2ms. 1280x1024 or 1680x1050 . they are really fast on that resolution and quality i bet in future lcd will all be 2ms and keeping quality it why some monitor with 5ms better then 2ms. i donno much about monitor
beside lcd will have a lifespawn of 10 more year before OLED become enough cost-effective
oled for gaming is the dream of any rich guy who as the money in 2010. :P

anyway for lcd i bet they will try to get up better spec. by next year i heard of possible 120hz. that would make 2ms / 4ms working way differently? no ghosting and more bits. tough i being told lcd monitor %26 TV work different TV AS true 24 bits
while monitor are 12-14bits expect soyo but that not hdcp
I was a hard core CRT fan, but with the 2 mm responce time of my Dell, there is no question that a good LCD monitor is better.
i think for thinks like black levels and contrast crt is still the best. but simple form factor is a huge plus for lcd and has given people way more desk space that for all but professional applications maybe ( photo work ) lcd is the way to go
samsung 2253bw... I am so glad i spent the monies on this baby... try teh lw too.. that usually goes a little cheaper but is basically the same thing.
thanks guys! i have made up my mind. i'm gonna get the SAMSUNG T190! thanks again!

also. the reason why i ask is they say that 8ms monitors are fine. so i tried to play on a monitor with an 8ms response time. a samsung syncmaster 632n to be exact. and gosh.. i said to myself ''is this what they say ''OK for gaming? 8ms?!'' extreme ghosting...

[QUOTE=''itsatrap23'']samsung 2253bw... I am so glad i spent the monies on this baby... try teh lw too.. that usually goes a little cheaper but is basically the same thing.[/QUOTE] I have the 225BW and couldn't be happier. It has a 5ms refresh, which could be better, but I've had no noticeable ghosting so far. There is a little backlight bleedthrough at the top and bottom; that would be my only complaint. And, running a native 1680x1050 resolution, my HD4850 pushes it just fine.
hhhmm... so i gotta look for a 5ms and 2ms for a monitor...
I'll take my 24'' Dell widescreen LCD monitor over my previous 19'' CRT Dell monitor anytime of the day!
hahaha. you guys always say that.. ''i'll take my lcd blah blah blah over my crt blah blah blah anytime!''
LCD surpassed crt long ago, otherwise people would still buy crts. I mean with a 2ms response time and much better quality... why would you prefer a crt?
