Yes !

I have a 19" LG 1900R Phantasy line...

When i switch to bigger resolutions the FPS droop is very noticeable.

Imagine into a 30 "

Hi Guys

I love these monitor discussions I gather alot of info from them.

I have a 20" IBM crt and it plays games great. But..... I want to keep up with the times and will go LCD.


My questions is I was on a tech link and there was talk of a next generation of LCD without the mercury but LED "backlit" I thought it was a "Greenthing" they were talking but I don't want to go out and buy yesterdays technolegy either. Moneys not the issue but... don't want to waste money that I can spend on upgrades or games.

So keep this discussion going and maybe give me some input if you can

Thx

Well reading up a bit on the LED Backlit stuff (cheers for the heads up FIREWALL)
Seems it will be launched for laptops at first.

Thx Capt. Since i've no probs with current monitor do you think I should hold off till the desktop versions are out awhile. Might even get a killer deal on a non-green LCD.

Besides I dispose of HAZ stuff responsibly "as he looks over his shoulder late at nite digging a deep hole in his back yard" :rotfl:

Hm, well to tell you the truth...i am sitting on a 19" DELL CRT...its in the attic but I am sure its actually better then the Samsung i am using now, thing is...SPACE!, that thing is like half a meter deep = me sitting like 30cm off my desk :p...My general philosophy with hardware is get it now..be cool for a couple of months cause there is always something cooler around the corner...that's like chasing the rainbow, you know what i mean....

I'm using a BenQ 20" WS and love it. I'm waitng on Vista to show some promise for gaming before I upgrade the OS and the card though. Until then, the 7900GT will have to do.

I know what you mean. Yes this thing is a monolith and thats another reason to move up. Btw you got me curious and mines 181\2" deep.YIKES!
I've got my eye on a 22" 1000to1 cr 2ms I think the brand is called Acer or something close for $200.00. The weekend is here ,I guess it's about to spend some money.
