Nec 90Gx2 its a keeper

[farp96]

Well after using CRT's for years because LCD's sucked for games, I've finally got an LCD that has everything I want and need 🙂 I got the Nec 90fx2 last week and have been loving it ever since. Colors are better than my CRT was, games are great 99% no ghosting or blurring. And no more buzzing noise 🙂 and lots of free deskspace. I love that gloosy screen too, I have no glare where its at. So I finally have something that can replace my trusty old CRT, which will go into storage. BF2 looks awesome of this LCD.............

Good to know. While 1280x1024 is not adequate for me, it says that the 20WMGX2 should be at least as good in terms of quality. Too bad NEC doesn't have one of these in 1600x1200.

Now I know of at least three people who have switched from high-end CRTs (2070SB, 930SB, Philips) to the 20WMGX2 and 90GX2.

I'm going all out and getting a NEC 20WMGX2.

It's pretty pricey and despite what my rig prob insinuates, I'm not a rich person (make $7/hr). I just save up. And like PCs. I still live w/ parents and 2 bros so we all help each other 😛

Yeah I would have gotten the 20wmgx2 but its just too dam $$$$

what about the LCD2170NX? It's roughly the same price as the 20WMGX2, with a touch slower response time (8ms) but a resolution of 1600x1200. Pixel pitch is also slightly larger at .27mm.

Anyone have any comments on this? I like the higher resolution, but tend to be uber picky about graphic consistencies, such as ghosting. It's the reason I still use my old viewsonic 17" crt.

I had my heart set on a 2405fpw (in my mind it was the 2405FTW =P) until I got a look at my buddy's. I thought I could see what equated to too much ghosting for me (I'll have to get another look at it to be sure). But my oh my, 1920x1200 is to die for. Then I saw my other friend's vx924's. No ghosting at all, but I'd have to eat the same resolution I use now... 1280x1024.

I guess the 12ms response is a decent amount slower than 8ms. And guess I could live with 1600x1200 😉. But what if 8ms is still too slow?

Perhaps the future of the lcd monitor is still quite distant for this old nit-pick...

Actually, the NEC 20WMGX2 has a resolution of 1680x1050.

Yes, your right. But I was comparing it to the LCD2170NX though, which has a max res of 1600x1200. Thats why I asked, I'd like the higher resolution (verticle res I should say. 1080p compliant), provided performance didn't take too great a hit.
but 1680x1050 is more than respectable. I guess I could live with that too 😛

It's not 1080p compliant. Horizontally OR vertically.

1080P really is irrelevent on a 4:3 let alone if you aren't watching some sort of TV that runs at the resolution which almost nothing does.

My real point though is that the 2170NX uses a PVA panel rather than an S-IPS like the 20WMGX2. For color rich applications you will be much happier with the S-IPS and the opticlear screen which gives you more vibrant colors. the 2170NX has a standard matted LCD screen.
