from CRT to LCD repost

QuoteHello guys. I'm gonna buy a new screen during next days.I've been using a big crt from 1930a.c. Pic: http://i.imgur.com/3weSk.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/GnL6G.jpg !

I kinda got used to play with 100hz (such a huge difference when i try to play with 60hz). Anyway, i've tried to find a 120hz lcd but the full hd ones are very expensive. Found one with decent price, but it is 1680x1050 or something like that.

Since i don't have money to waste at a 120hz one, tell me: do you really notice alot of difference between crt - lcd? what about 5ms vs 2ms ? I wouldn't mind buying one with tv included, but i can only find 5ms with tv. :|


Tell me your experience and if possible suggest me some new LED screens, >= 21.5' && <= 24'!

Thanks!


I need some advices and suggest me screens plx!

switched from a 21´ eizo crt to a 22´ 120 hz samsung tft.

sad panda now :(((

feels choppy compared to my crt at 120 hz
u cant be serious ive played with 130-140 Hz, if you adjust fps>Hz you are done
or was it the other way around for smooth mouseturning?
also you can reduce mouse(usb)hzrate for removing turningspread completely.
anyway, below 125 mousehz you will get funny turning lags (even tough there is NO spread^^)
but that is offtopic :o

nah, gameplay is smooth but i recognize some kind of input lag . . . hard to describe. maybe thats all in my mind . . .

who knows.
Parent
which samsung you have and which port u use (analog or HDMI) ?
Parent
Yeah, Samsung/Viewsonic still have input lag so you're describing it fine.
Parent
Yes CRT stays smoother
SamsungSyncmaster P2450H

-> official WCG2009 LCD
cost: around 200 euro, ive paid 180,-- instead of 220,-- was the last one they had in stock
2 ms, et = totally lagfree and thats where i test many screens
there is absolutely no difference to my old Eizo T766, which was capable of doing 135Hz@1024px. Since nobody wanted to buy it, ive given it away for free

but GET THIS SYNCMASTER it was the official screen they used at the whole WCG event,
they played every game on that fuck and its awesome + HDMI + analog + DIGITAL + adjust everything the fuck u want

249€ at Portugal, gonna check the specs n stuff now...


I am confused, wondering if i should buy a 1680x1050 120hz instead....they cost around 250€ here...

edit: how many hz can you get at r_mode 6?
Parent
Afaik LCD's get same Hz on every resolution.
Parent
Apparantely the Viewsonic 120hz LCD only runs 120hz at it's native res, or so I've heard :|.
Parent
as fracture said, you are playing with either 60 hz or 120 hz u cant change it to other values with ANY lcd
so i suppose you set r_mode to 6 and play with 120 ;) + com_maxfps 125
but beware, with that P2450H and its native 1920, resolutions @1024 look a bit blurry but wait..im gonna test et right now.
Parent
what :o ? no way, it's possible to use 75hz at some crts....you can change at windows or even inside the game using r_displayrefresh ... Samsung doesn't have this kind of information at their website, it doesn't seems like a 120hz screen for the price....
Parent
CRT? u mean LCD
i havent tried customizing the refreshrate with this screen because its perfect in every way
60 or 120 just tested ET now i didnt know you could but id avoid that cause u got a few years of warranty on this one even tough u could say it just doesnt work bla bla

anyway http://p2450h.com/

with lower resolutions (below 1920) the screen gets a bit blurry but somehow ET runs @125 frames anyway even on 1920 but that should be because of my system.
also ive plugged in analog AND hdmi cause playing fast games with HDMI you will notice a small delay, even tough my friends havent but i am a long time et player, eyes are trained good.

games->analog
bluray->HDMI (one tap@zä screen)
Parent
Well, could someone recommend a bit smaller screen 8D? 20'' would be perfect, i got lg W2052V, but 75hz dissapoints me ;[.
All the current 120hz LCD's everywhere are 22" afaik.
Parent
there is nothing like the CRT but you ll get used to it .. as we all did ..
tenho um pc novo fofo!
Brother 165C? ;D
