Monitors: CRT vs LCD - Page 4

Memnoch · 06-27-2004, 09:31 AM

At this stage I'll probably hold off on the TV tuner, mainly because I ended up not getting foxtel digital cabled to my room as well (only have one connection in the living room). When I inquired as to the cost of this extra connection it was quite prohibitive. [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] So I'll hold off on the TV tuner, but will get a DVD-RW drive instead, as I'm more likely to watch DVDs in my room than TV. Though the recording stuff sounds interesting...

Go for 19' LCD if you are a gamer.

Would love 19" LCD, but a bit expensive to get a decent one here in OZ, unfortunately... [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img] and I mainly game RPGs, TBS and RTS, so I'm not too fussed.

Well, then you have nothing to worry about then, 19'' is a must if you are a fan of good FPS games and the such.

Just a note to say that I ended up getting a new LCD - the Samsung 710N, 12ms response time. Pics below:

Love it love it love it!!

Took a while to get used to how bloody bright it is

but after a bit of adjusting it's perfect now. I've run the MonitorsDirect dead pixel text and checked it till my eyes started hurting but I couldn't find any.

Harks, I'll be coming around to drop off my old 17" CRT to your place sometime soon - maybe tomorrow if you're free.

In comparison however, LCD and Plasma televisions are a big waste of cash. Considering how long they usually last, and how much you'll be able to get out of them, their dollar/hour viewed ratio is far pricier than CRTs... Especially when you have the CRTs that can do 1080i...

Unfortunately Oblivion, I had a space issue... [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]
