I've never noticed enough lag from a LCD vs a CRT that would justify the loss of desktop space, personally.  Especially for planetside.  I've played most FPS out there as well, never really been an issue.

I have the Samsung 930BF, which has the 4ms res time.

75Hz @ 1280x1024 (refresh seems low for lcd but is actually high for lcd but works fine cause the pixels don't 'flash' the same way crt do.)

I have no complaints about this lcd panel other than I wish it were bigger. Color, contrast and sharpness all absolutely SMOKE the Sony 21" 500PS I was using which when was new, was more than twice the price of this lcd. But coming down from 21" to 19" isn't easy. The actual viewable image size is only about half inch smaller but it's surprising how noticable it is at close range. But that's meh for you.

I haven't seen any ghosting or lcd motion blur or anything like that. The only thing i'd say is different than crt that i have seen is more screen tearing. On a crt i always always had vsync off and used a 85-90Hz refresh for everything and never noticed any tearing. But with the lcd down at 75Hz and maybe the difference in technology I do notice tearing (not the monitors fault), but now I leave vsync on. What does that mean? With vsync on you'll never get more than 75 fps in a game using a 75Hz refresh rate. IMO no big deal. I'll take a constant 75 over tearing.

I'd love to get like a 37" 1080p lcd tv and use that but still feelin the hit of the new box i put together. ;)

Leaning more towards the NEC.



Just trolling and I noticed this post.......I have the NEC 1970GX....it is a great monitor...I love it.

I use the Samsung 930B, I prefer it to my old CRT. Very Happy with it.

I am running the Dell 24" widescreen and its great with all the screen space but you do notice a blur.

The response time on it is probably worse then anything your looking at and I have def gotten used to it.  I used to play on a CRT and when I switched I completely noticed the blurs turning quickly in the air and coming around corners fast, but you adjust and do not notice it as much.  Although the other day I was playing on the CRT and felt like I was playing better and my aim was more precise.  With a lower response you won't feel it as much though.

Mine is the 21" wide Gateway which has a 8ms response and 1000:1 contrast ratio.
