 Computer MonitorDo you guys suggest CRT or LCD? Because it seems like there is one hell of a price jump, and I don't know, for the money, what compares to what or what can handle more. Please discuss the pros and cons and your opinion.

the basics that I get out of the article/Doc's post:
CRT - sucks at life because it emits radiation (not nuclear, retards) = bad 4 eyes! - flickers = headache when playing/doing stuff for a long time - friggin HUGE - cheap LCD - display time lags a bit behind the CRT (the lag is only occasional and it is only 1 frame behind at most) - small, better flat - getting cheaper by the month - no radiation = good 4 eyes! and no flicker - Doc said something about LCD's getting better around the Fall season (might have said sept/august/october/I might have been sleeping) I don't know anything about LCDs getting better so their tech is equal to that of CRT for gaming, but I hope they get better and that somebody tells me when it does...

OLED monitors going to start to trickle out as well. |

there are many factors that cause lag of screen updates... with CRT you eliminate alot of it...
If you're very competitive, I would go with CRT. If you're just a casual gamer like I am... a good LCD with low response time should serve you just fine. I would go with a fantastic 19" LCD... that supports 75hz. The best 19" LCD at the moment is probably the NEC 90GX2, followed by the viewsonic 19" 2 and 3ms response times monitors. If you wait and have money to burn... some nice LCD TVs are coming out with 120hz respone times. That should make a huge difference in elmimniating lag. I believe Hitachi claims its as fast as plasma except with higher resolution. _________________ Do the right thing at the right time for the right reason.  I am 59% addicted to Counterstrike.
