Comp Monitor
 
Does anyone play with a flat screen monitor? I heard it was hard to play games with one. Thinking of getting one but not if it has problems with the refresh rate.

19" TFT with 16ms IS THE BEST FOR PLAYING ;)

Better to go with a CRT for games. LCDs have been getting cheaper and better quality but CRTs are still the best value.

I have a nice 19" CRT screen but a flat screen would be less bulky. I just want it to look good when I play though.

A good flat screen will do the same as a CTR. Unfortunately, a good flat screen is going to cost 10x as much as a CRT. I'd stick with old school for now.

Just to add to that statement. If you have the kind of cash to get those kick ass LCDs you would be better off just getting a projector.

badboy 2004-06-30 06:35 PM

Or you could put it on the bed and do it on the screen ?

Apologes for forum digging, haven't been on for a while; hope you haven't bought your monitor already? I'm using a 19" samsung LCD and a recently bought CRT dell (some sale) and for diablo the LCD plays nice, for things like Warcraft 3 Unreal Tourny ect you'll want the better frame-rate on non LCD displays, but depending on your videocard you can still get the 60-85mhz range on an LCD, which is nice because it's MUCH easier on your eyes. for something small like diablo I'd go with an LCD because it looks so damn sexy

edit: my LCD was 495 Canadian, 2004, my CRT was a little less, about 50-80 dollars.
