Gaming LCD?

[sirstarvsalot]

I've heard alot here that the newer LCDs are fine for gaming, and do not have the ghosting problem of the older LCDs. But recently I have been hearing that even the newer LCDs DO have ghosting problem. I would just like to know if the newer LCDs do or do not have ghosting problem, since I am thinking of making the jump from CRT to LCD. Also, if anyone would like to recommend a good 19" LCD for around $600 dollars I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

I hear that new Dell is pretty good for gaming. 20" goodness too.

2001FP, 16ms, 20", goes for about 749 right now.

that plus whatever rebates and codes you can find and stack on

Thanks, but that may be a little to expensive. Is there any thing around the $600 dollar range that is 19" and will run great for gaming?

I like the Samsung 191T, also, I think Dell has a 1901FP or something to that effect, it's basically a 19" version of the 2001FP.

Sure they'll run games but as far as I know, none of the 19" LCDs out right now have a 16ms or less response time.

Even though the Dell 1800FP is only 18.1" and has a 30ms "paper spec" response time, it does not show any ghosting and I have (2) of them. I play an extremely fast paced UT2K3 Zark Rifle mod and watch DVD movies with no trace of ghosting. Do a search for 1800FP and you'll pull up a ton of feedback. You can probably pick one up for around $475.00.

Basically, what you want is the lower response time. 16 ms is what you have been hearing as being "gaming LCDs". I would wait until the Dell 2001 is in your price range, or your price range is in the range of the 2001. Think about it. 20" viewable! :rools::

I wouldn't mind saving up for one.
