I'm looking to buy an LCD and the RAD5 looks like the best bet for a low priced 15" LCD. The only problem is it only supports Analog. Should I go with it or look for an LCD with DVI?
Does DVI give you that much better image quality?
Also, is the motion blur that bad?

Personal attacks lead to vacation as well. Just let the mods take care of it or send a PM.

Uh huh. :) yakko is your idle what? :p

Or maybe your grammar just sucks. :p

P.S. Don't capitalize yakko. A golden member should know such basic OT rules.

THX, LCD's are a big investment, and I would hate to get burned on such a big ticket Item..


I wanted a Nokia 21in crt, but they are soooooooo big, and I cant imagine dragging that thing around to Lan-partys..

I agree with ya.
I'm going to get a 15" for now until the price drops on the 17"+ models. My g/f has been asking me why my eyes look bloodshot all the time...I think I know why now :( Too much time in front of the monitor....I need something a little easier on the eyes.
I'm a little worried going from a 19" to a 15" though. I understand it's like going to a 17" CRT, but still, those 2" extra add up to quite some extra space.

Anywho, here's an article I just found at Tom's about LCDs. It's a little long but should be helpful.
