tft crt

atm i've got a 75 herz 19 inch tft and i was wondering if a 100 herz 17 inch crt ( most likely to be 17 ) actually makes so much difference

i heard tekoa saying smth like that he sucks atm due to playing with a tft

It helped me alot
i play with a laptop
am sofa mit webcam drauf :D

i play 500 hz :x
That must be a really impressive monitor. Does your system also have 250 GB of RAM?
Parent
Impressive monitor or not, his eyes wouldn't be able to see that kind of frames :p
Parent
People say you can't notice the difference between 100hz and 120hz, but whenever I dropped down to 100 the screen felt jerkey. It wasn't a placebo effect.
Parent
The difference between 100 and 120 is pretty much noticeable. The difference >200 however is getting pretty hard for someone with average eyes :)
Parent
and between the 2 things stated in my journal ;<
Parent
it's too obvious to miss
Parent
There's probably some people who notice it. You're right though, once you get into the 200's any difference is probably placebo.

Try this ;) it's fun to measure the capability of your own eyes
Parent
Hotlinking blocked... and I run Linux!
Parent
it's probably not because of the less hz .. it's because your fps don't sync properly with your screen hz
Parent
I switched to 100fps when I switched to 100hz.
Parent
100fps + 100hz is a jerkey combination, dont really know why .. think you need some more fps than hz.

that 100hz is not the problem of your jerkyness can be shown when you turn vsync on .. both 100 and 120 should be fine.
Parent
I rly dont know soz :P
Parent
crt is better for gaming, yes (more hertz, you can choose an r_mode you like and on some shittier LCD's you get ghosting)
tekoa = noob

topic: never played @ tft
but 75hz @ crt also sucks
100 = much better..
Tsu use it and he friggin pwn so nP :)
Parent
1080p 42" go go go
Don't decent 1080p screens cost as much as a small apartment?
Parent
1.5k + it goes nice with my ps3 :D

A while back, after a long break, I started playing ET on my laptop. Before that I'd always played on a crt at 100hz. The long break had obviously desensitized me, I used to be able to tell when any erroneous processes were running just by the feel of the game, because I didn't notice that much difference between the tft and crt: it was obviously worse, but the extent of which I felt was minor.

A few weeks later I got sick of using a plank for a desk, so I moved into the living room and hooked my laptop upto the 7 year old crt. Even though it's 15 inch, even though it was only 60hz, even though the screen was curved, it still looked amazing. There was more clarity and depth, more snap and visual feedback, there was more of everything. Pretty much instantly I felt a leap in skill: having a desk and a stable mousepad probably contributed to that somewhat, but the advantage of being able to see the game clearly can't be overlooked.

Maybe high end tft's differ from my laptop, but from the numerous complaints I've heard I doubt it very much. Even if they do, compared to a decent size crt, tft's are still very expensive. The only down side to crt's is finding a place that actually sells them.

So, if I were to give you a definitive answer, I would say "Buy a crt", but there's one more thing to consider: LAN's. All lans use tft's nowadays, so by using a crt you may be putting yourself in a major disadvantage versus someone who exclusively plays on tft - They won't notice when that everything's blurring at the LAN, but you will, they may even see an improvement, the provided tft's could be of a higher quality: but by using a crt, you almost guarantee yourself considerable discomfort should you ever wish to attend a LAN.

In summation: if you want the best gaming experience, pick crt; if you'd like to more competitive at a future lan, pick tft - But pick a good one!
ye that's one of the facts that is holding me back to buy a crt again , but on the other hand, i'm only gonna go to one lan and that is cpc :()
Parent
Yeah. It just depends on what you're looking for.

If you switched to crt right now, you would, almost certainly, notice a big improvement in visual quality - But that doesn't necessarily mean your game will improve. The main reason tekoa is finding the switch hard is that his eyes are used to the clarity of crt, once he adjusts he'll get back to his old skill level. That being said, it could be that by switching to crt you would also require an adjustment period, during which time you would no longer possess the same skill level you do now - Eventually you would return to your original level, with only the most modest of improvement.

I would recommend sticking to tft, as you will no doubt be underwhelmed by the advantage a crt affords. If you look into it, the only people who ever complain about tft's, are the ones who have just switched from crt - People who have been using tft's for a long time will normally say they can see just fine.

It's a different matter entirely if you're using a shit tft though.
Parent
you can only go to one lan so why would you want to buy a tft just for that?
Parent
i already have a tft so the question is why would i buy a crt
Parent
Laptop tft's are notouriously bad. Designed for battery life, even the cheapest desktop tft kicks the crap out of any laptop tft.
Parent
i prefer crt cuz of better performance
i play with tft, thats why im not worlds best aimer, np
I use tft, pretty good one, it can have 85hz. I dont want crt cuz i want to save my eyes :)
CRT at high refresh rates is better for your eyes than low refresh rates CRT :)
Parent
isnt tft always better for your eyes then a CRT?
Parent
Yes. It doesn't emit electrons.
Parent
ye but still a tft is betetr for eyes, but i lost some skill when removing my CRT with 120 hz to a tft, but care =P
Parent
but its still bader for eyes
Parent
Uh, that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard. Higher refresh raters and different display types don't hurt your eyes, low light levels and prolonged usage do. Do you take regular breaks and ensure the room is well lit?
Parent
i allways have the light on in the room and the window ofc :P
Parent
Regular breaks are more important.
Parent
well i dont play 24/7 so =P
Parent
TFT are better for your eyes thats since the screen only refreshing the pixels who needed to get refreshed , Weird shit , so your eyes get more relaxt , A good TFT monitor atleast
Parent
they don't, it's a myth. Your eyes can get fatigued, but after you close them for a couple of minutes and give them a rest, they regenerate. Same with low hz values and crappy monitors.
Parent
I think if they didn't, we'd be seeing a lot of blind people right about now.
Parent
the guy was called "Hertz", not "herz"
well I can still aim decently if I put effort in the game but if you want to be serious and get the best out of it get a good hz crt.
if you play on 800x600 @ TFT with 22 inch widescreen , didnt the whole screen just looked ugly or something? since i read the best thing you can do is running a TFT in his native resolution
Its just a game , why would I buy an CTR if im happy with my TFT its just a free game = ]
yup, i've 940BF and its quite sucky with 75hz for ET
Higher displayrefresh gives you a higher sensitivity. Keep that in mind when you change to smth else.If you found your "right"sensitivity with crt @ high Hz, switching to tft changes sensitivity due to lower displayrefresh. So that affects your aim most in a negative way.
Yeah, I wish there was some kind of entry in the cfg that would let me change my sensitivity the way i wanted.


wait...
Parent
/sensitivity
Parent
i play on a laptop so when i'll get my new computer , i don't care if it's a tft or crt coz it will be better than what i have now
reminds me of my car :-D

whatever will be next, it just has to be better
Parent
theres a big difference between 100hz and 120hz.
i used to play with 120hz and 125fps but now its 120hz and 100fps , not so smooth but hey - only way to get 100 real packets sent..

and well my laptop cant get stable 125 all the time , but does stable 100 so...
how about 100 Hz 100 fps?
Parent
tearing. bad.
Parent
125fps 120hz

-> 63 packets ?

will test it, but can only get 120 @ 800*600 :(
Parent
125fps 120hz + 100 maxpackets = 63packets so to make is stable , better play with maxpackets 63.

100fps 120hz + 100 maxpackets = 100packets sents.

and 800x600 is best resolution anyway :)
