Tbh get an LCD, way more reliable.
Around 150€ you find really good 19' wide screens.
But some nerds will harass you about taking some 250€ monitors or more cause of some retarded spec that you will never care about.
which one would u propose to buy? :o
thx!
I switched to my 19' widescreen with a 8400GS without any problem, and a mate did the same with the same GPU as you.
When i bought it it was in emergency (my old crt crashed) so i bought a "noname" (actually the brand is Hanns-g).
I paid it 100€ and for the moment it really fit everything i do and i dont notice any problem.
But if you have money to invest prefer fome good brand (even if i dont know if it worth it).
If the way is hazy,

You know you can't be lazy
Never use a messy recipe,

If you do the cooking by the book,
Then you'll have a cake
We gotta have it made,
You know that I love cake
Finally, it's time to make a cake

just having a crt running at default refresh rates isnt going to look any bettter then TFT. If you ever played on 125fps / 120hz you'll never say didnt notice a difference ... its ubersmooth.
A crt needs a lot of images to work nicely. TFT images stay on the screen till a new image is available. CRT flash images at you at a rate of 75 to 200 images a second. Trust me, any CRT using high displayrefresh with high framerate will totally outperform any TFT, the difference is huge, especially in games with fast paced action.
kheb nog ne 19" 120hz @ rmode6 iyyama monitor staan, maar die beeldqualiteit is niet meer de beste en khem die jaren op hoge brightness en contrast laten draaien, dus kdenk dat ge die niet wilt hebben :)
ik kan wel aan goeie CRT's geraken tuseen de 19" en 22" voor 20€ per monitor :)
normaal doet elke monitor boven de 19" 120hz in rmode6, goeie doen al vanaf 19" 120hz.
Enigste TFT's dak op werk zijn 30" TFTs voor jewelcad en die dingen zijn niet gemaakt voor te gamen :)
cod4 and cod2 @ 1920x1200 got 250fps with a 8800GTS 512 card @ high quality
i recognized that on lan too..
After that you'll get used to be owned so it will be OK :o)))))

* Panel: TN (LPL LM220WE3); 6-bit+Hi-FRC, 16.7M colors
* Image Delay (rt+lag): 0 - 0 - 0
* Specifications: LG L227WT
* HDCP Compliant: Yes
* More Info: prad.de
* Notes: US model is L227WTG-PF (glossy). Excellent gaming monitor (zero input lag). Vibrant colors.
Then I look over at Hardware.info and DigitalVersus.com, where it doesnt score well at input lag (20ms and 33ms max).
In short: even for extreme hardcore gamers, the LG L227WT is absolutely suitable and can be used without any limitations. Users who are not happy with this LCD monitor in this context should stick to tube monitors or question their skills.
Link is here if you want to search for them: http://www.lesnumeriques.com/duels.php?ty=6
Just look at the etape 3 (comparison) and "temps de retard par rapport à un crt" ("input lag") section. then it's easy to understand :)
i think the only way to see it is to concentrate and TRY to see it, which you won't do while gaming anyway
i love 5:4 aspect ratio :) Everyone looks so fucking fat!
(but I cant complain on lcds anymore, I had a nice aim feeling at the last cc, better than the previous ones :()
i think ill stay with my crt... ^^
it's about 180€ nowadays I think
been using this on a ubercrap 6600gs or something before and it worked normal.
if you got no clue about monitors, all the hertz-fps-refreshrate relations (like me) etc you can go for any monitor that has nice (marketing)specs
it's ~1,5 years old though
maybe 22" d be better.
me is samsungfanboi!!! look best!

here you go, have fun with it, andreas
stop stealing weak :'''( maneater :'(
actually I'm not stealing him, so don't be so harsh :-(
das die TFT´s keinen Displayrefresh haben. Bei Windows steht zwar "60" aber nur aus dem
Grund das es für XP die Standarteinstellung ist. Und alle TFT´s die nicht aus der ersten
Produktionsreihe kommen haben höchstens eine Verzögerung von 5 MILI! Sekunden,
das ist so wenig du merkst keinen Unterschied. Ich habe einen 22" ,um genau zu sein :
F. Siemens : L22W-6SA [/GER]
can somebody explain me the relation between hertz and fps (& maxpackets) ?
I mean... my tft (or lcd dunno the difference l@l) can give 60hz, and my comp is able to gimme 125 fps, oky.
I read that people said it's useless to use 125 fps with an lcd as it like... can't draw all fps (due to refreshrate) or something, and that it's 'wrong' to use such an amount of fps or that it's not correct that it gives 125 fps ?!
But still 125 fps feels 10000 times better than 76 or even 43 fps, which both feel like dukenukem3d on a gameboy.
I'm using 1680x1050 resolution and it gives me 125 fps (on very rare occasions unstable)
/r_displayrefresh 1 => no differents.
if the monitor can't produce 125 fps, why does it feel so much smoother if it's not even possible ? or am I getting something wrong here?
don't say placebo, this argument is only valid between retards
even if the frames are unrendered, the mouse input is still applied to that frame, and since 125 is divisible directly into 250, 500, 1000 (commonly used mouse frequencies), it makes it far smoother (for me at least)
btw, my LCD while only giving 60Hz on DVI, can pull out 1280x800@75hz if I use VGA, which is why when using my LCD for gaming (which is very rarely because I have a nice CRT!) I switch to a VGA cable
but it supports my this-is-all-bs theory, thx
okey, whats the best crt then?? i need a new monitor...mine is just huge and even cleaning doesnt help no more to make it look better...too much swaffelen!!! ;-D
LOL but when i check amazon etc, they dont even sell crt's no more :D where to buy?^^
Now be my buddy!
anything made by samsung, iiyama, sony, dell is likely to be suitable. Although, try to avoid the curved screen models - i think the totally flat screen ones are labelled 'Trinitron' or some similar variant.

ill check some resellers or smth... thnx! :)

i got a 22" LCD and it said 5 ms which i thought id never notice anyways but when you turn you will notice especially when you turn fast... the CRTs go along way faster not blurring your vision.. my LCD however blurrs the whole picture and it takes me a felt second or 2 maybe to get that picture together again cause its so blurry in the beginning as a matter of fact i cant see shit while turning so better watch out what LCD you get or simply stay with CRT seeing that i obviously am not the right 1 to give you tips on monitors though ill stop here :D
