My new system is almost as high as possible in the contrast of duel processor, 1.5 gig of ram, 160 gig hard drive, etc. This will be my fun toy and as time goes on, gonna slowly buy stuff to REALLY upgrade it, thanx XX.

Any help is appriciated, ty"
This is a direct copy heh
here is my reply
"Flatscreen is generally in reference to a CRT [ "normal" ] monitor when the... hmm glass? i guess is flat... and doesnt have a bubble like a standard TV...
Flatpanel is generally... LCD monitors
According to those specs which you posted... I would say the first one is "better' according to specs for gaming because of the lower response time... [ that being 16ms ]...
Now... the other monitor has DVI, higher contrast and a brighter screen... heh... soo... hmm... yarr... I would say that 250-300cd/m2 is pretty normal... and 1000:1 contrast is higher than normal... I would have to look up some review in order to get a better idea...
Good stats:
19": 19in screen, 16ms response time
17": DVI Connection, 1000:1 contrast, 280cd/m2 brightness
yarrr... just look up.. info...
also... 25ms is still reasonable... you dont wanna go above 30ms... or you will probably see streaking w/ higher movement"
Lemme know what you guys/gals think and which you would go with [and why]
