I personally use CRT, because i thing the image is way better than LCD screens. Its more "Depth" IMO, but hey, thats just me.

Well LCD is way better as long as you get a good one that is digital (DVI), has a low response time and a good contrast ratio etc..

LCD for me. No problems at all plus it is a huge space saver because it is very thin. I have 19 inch gateway...not the best but does what I need it to do. Anyway, GW did have option on loading for dark or light atmosphere. Reinstall (make sure your in port) and use the light atmosphere.

See how it looks then. Also, when it is night in the game I have the lights turned off so I can see better.

There was another thread in here on that issue if I'm not mistaken.

I was always confused as to which option was meant for the dark and light screen. I think that the dark option is for screens that are dark. I say this because I used the light one when I installed and it seemed very dark and my monitor is old and dark.

Maybe a GW expert can throw us a bone here.

Crt are great for play.i have got a mitsu 17" and is a very nice , but i think that the future is for the TFT when they improve the response time.Also the crt could not be built any more.

If you get a new monitor, you'll definitely not want anything smaller than a 19".
And having a good video card makes a big difference too.

Remember, you get what you pay for.
